UN Digital Cooperation Portal

The UN Digital Cooperation Portal is a tool to support implementation of the Global Digital Compact by all stakeholders. The portal will collect information on initiatives relative to GDC objectives from across the UN system and other relevant stakeholders. Data points can be volunteered to the portal by all interested actors on their actions starting from September 2024 until the time of the high-level review of GDC (2027), allowing for a general tracking of progress. The portal will generate data visualizations of how GDC is being implemented at national, regional, global and thematic levels.

Negotiated by 193 Member States and informed by global consultations, the Global Digital Compact commits governments to upholding international law and human rights online and to taking concrete steps to make the digital space safe and secure.

The Compact recognizes the critical contributions of the private sector, technical communities, researchers and civil society to digital cooperation. It calls on all stakeholders to engage in realizing an open, safe and secure digital future for all.

The five GDC objectives are:

1. Close all digital divides and accelerate progress across the Sustainable Development Goals.

2. Expand inclusion in and benefits from the digital economy for all.

3. Foster an inclusive, open, safe and secure digital space that respects, protects and promote human rights.

4. Advance responsible, equitable and interoperable data governance approaches.

5. Enhance international governance of artificial intelligence for the benefit of humanity.
