[At-Large] Global Digital Compact: Zero Draft Released

[Javier Rua]

Thx Joanna!

A potentially good thing I see in 0 draft is a mention of environmental
impacts (and mitigation of impacts) of ICTs as part of the GDC’s SDG-focus.
I hope that discussion will truly happen and that the voice of stakeholders
that are particularly affected by climate-impacts are in the room (for
example, citizens and governments of Small Island Developing States and
Territories).
