Digital Cooperation – Report from the UN High level panel (Q & A)

The High-level Panel on Digital Cooperation launched its report The Age of Digital Interdependence on Monday 10 June 2019. EuroDIG will be the first opportunity for a face to face discussion on the results.


Background

In July 2018, UN Secretary-General António Guterres established the High-Level Panel on Digital Cooperation. It consists of 22 international leaders from government, the private sector, academia, the technical community and civil society. Its goal is to identify good examples and propose modalities for working cooperatively across sectors, disciplines and borders to address challenges in the digital age. Between October 2018 and January 2019, the Panel conducted an open consultation process and collected inputs from all interested stakeholders worldwide. The Panel is currently compiling these inputs and envisages to present a final report with actionable recommendations in June 2019 to the UN Secretary-General.


Formulating a European response to the Report of the High-Level Panel on Digital Cooperation

The IGF, EuroDIG and other inclusive multistakeholder dialogue platforms have laid important ground for the work of the Panel and play a key role in digital governance. Against this background, EuroDIG would like to invite the European community to formulate a response to the report of the High-Level Panel on Digital Cooperation.

Once the Panel has released its final report, the recommendations will be discussed during EuroDIG. Thereafter an online consultation process in which everyone interested can participate will be started. The intersessional project will result in a consolidated response by the European Community that will then be transmitted to the global IGF in November 2019 in Berlin.
