Together with Access Now, we hosted a side event at ECOSOC High Level Political Forum 2022.
This virtual side event examined the efforts to expand access to the Internet and how they contribute to the achievement of SDGs 4 and 5, as well as challenges the Internet faces that undermine the achievement of these goals. This session examined ways to ensure that everyone has unrestricted, inexpensive, and dependable Internet access.
