UNSGSA Queen Máxima Remarks at the ITU-UNDP "SDG Digital" Event

H.M. Queen Máxima of the Netherlands, the United Nations Secretary-General’s Special Advocate for Inclusive Finance for Development (UNSGSA), provided prerecorded video remarks for the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) "SDG Digital" event on how digital technologies can accelerate progress towards the SDGs held at the United Nations in New York on 17 September 2023. The UNSGSA highlights the remarkable difference that digital services can make to people’s lives — through access to payments, finance, healthcare, education, and more. So, how do we ensure that digital services are accessible to everyone? By creating digital public infrastructure that is fair, interoperable, open, and inclusive — enabling essential public and private services for the common good.
