🌟 You have the opportunity to mold your session ideas around these GDDF themes:

🌐 21st Century Development: How can ICT help to mitigate or adapt to a warming world? Where can ICT support better food nutrition and availability? Who is preparing for the next pandemic, and how can digital technology help? When can we work together, across sectors? How can we succeed when budgets shrink but expectations soar?

Overcoming Digital Downsides: How can we mitigate risks and improve digital hygiene? When should we disengage from firms that actively do harm? How can we support democratic institutions? How can we ensure that we are protecting children, women, and other vulnerable groups? How can we improve digital illiteracy and inclusion? Where are mis/dis/malinformation risks the most acute, and how can we reduce its impacts?

🛸 Pushing the Frontiers of Digital Development: When is it really useful for international development? How is it relevant to emerging economies? Who is using IoT and what is its impact? What are we seeing in the data?
