The Digital Economy Council is a an Indian non-statutory advisory committee of independent members set up to provide advice to the governments and various other companies. Its purpose is to harness the expertise of industry and the wider tech community to develop a world-leading digital economy works for everyone.
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also known as the Global Goals, were adopted by the United Nations in 2015 as a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that by 2030 all people enjoy peace and prosperity.
Over the past two years, the COVID-19 pandemic has wreaked havoc on almost every aspect of our lives. And it is still far from over. The pandemic wiped out more than four years of progress on poverty eradication and pushed 93 million more people into extreme poverty in 2020.
At the same time climate change has become a crisis. To avoid the worst effects of climate change, as set out in the Paris Agreement, global greenhouse gas emissions will need to peak before 2025 and then decline by 43 per cent by 2030, falling to net zero by 2050. Instead, under current voluntary national commitments to climate action, greenhouse gas emissions will rise by nearly 14 per cent by 2030.
The Sustainable Development Goals Report 2022 -“Despite some progress, serious data gaps persist in SDG monitoring. s. It has also been an opportunity to experiment with innovative data collection methods, explore new data sources and modernize ICT infrastructures to meet data demands for policymaking.”
During the pandemic, partnerships were formed among government agencies, academic institutions, local governments, private businesses and civil society organizations to collect urgently needed data for policymaking. Such collaboration fostered new ideas and resources; it also increased the resulting data’s inclusivity, timeliness and utilization
“The last two years have seen a major blow to the world’s economy and people, and lower-income countries were hit particularly hard. Investing in data capacities and data partnerships to leave no one behind, build trust and fill data gaps to achieve the SDGs must be a priority for national governments and the international community if countries are to rely upon evidence-based policy responses to emerge stronger from the crisis and face the unknown challenges ahead.”- The Sustainable Development Goals Report 2022

last few decades have heralded a more adventuresome, spirit of experimentation for regulators, and the growth of digitization has created a more interconnected world. The digitization of workflows in product and service companies has made it easier to change the scope of the offerings to match both the final customers’ desires and the different industry participants’ interests. Add globalization to this and the fact that digital data flows can be transferred instantaneously at very low cost, and these forces are redefining the entire architecture of sectors.
