Digitalization and Technology and the G20

This paper is a brief summary of the accumulated debates and recommendations of the C20 in the 2021, 2022 and 2023 editions about digitalization and technological economy to support the working groups in this 2024 edition. So that we can move forward with advocacy actions with the G20 and, consequently, with a view to redirecting routes in order to fulfill the commitments of the 2030 Agenda. 

On the following pages, we present the formulations accumulated by the C20 over the last few years and recommendations for achieving SDG. “Digital technologies directly benefit 70% of SDG targets, say ITU, UNDP and partners. The SDG Digital Acceleration Agenda, a global analysis of the connections between digital technologies and sustainable development, provides a roadmap for governments on their digital transformation journey”.

The C20 also "highlighted that privacy and data protection, inclusivity in digitalization, and global equity in terms of benefits from digitalization and data flows, require priority consideration and should be addressed soon"
