Document
Natural disasters such as the increased frequency and intensity of extreme climate-related events and borderless public health emergencies such as the COVID-19 pandemic are the challenges currently shared by the global society. The call for decisive actions to avoid climate catastrophes and ensure sustainable development in the era of COVID-19 calls for innovative public governance whilst unlocking the potential of digital and data technologies. While responses to COVID-19 required the acceleration of digital transformation, the active utilization of digital and data technologies allowed countries to make informed, transparent, and accountable decisions during the pandemic. This emphasized the importance of public administration and governance in the current times, with less than a decade to act on the promises under the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
This Forum will explore innovative public governance approaches and methods to leverage digital transformation to achieve the 2030 Agenda and address climate crisis, where presenters and discussants will be expected to share experiences based on concrete country cases focusing on the factors that either promote or hinder efforts on the topic.
