9. Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure
10. Reduced Inequalities
17. Partnerships for the Goals
Targets: The Internet has been recognized as a powerful enabler for the Sustainable Development Goals. The Internet Society works to grow and strengthen the Internet, directly contributing to SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure). In addition, increasing Internet access can actually contribute to reduce inequality (SDG 11). As ISOC's work it's done in partnership with its community and other organizations, there is also a link to SDG 17.
Roundtable - Gathering
The objective of the Internet Society’s 'Collaborative Leadership Exchange’ is to bring together all interested participants to network, build relationships, exchange ideas, discuss key local / regional Internet governance issues, and explore applicable solutions. The event will be focused on Internet Society’s Projects on Strengthening the Internet and Growing the Internet while integrating the inputs, requirements and experiences of different stakeholder groups. This session will contribute to building communities of learning and fostering relationships that create a multiplier effect on that cascades throughout the IGF week of activities, and beyond. A 3-hour event to network, build relationships, exchange ideas, discuss key local and regional Internet issues, and explore applicable solutions. There will be around two rounds of discussions encompassing key topics and facilitating conversations.
The session will have a strong online component as we expect most of our IGF Youth Ambassadors to attend the event online. The online and onsite moderators will work together to ensure that input from both online and on-site participants is received. The online moderator will encourage remote participation during the entire session. The organizational team has experience in conducting this session online and onsite which will make the planning and integration of everyone's feedback smoother.
