- creating new global society in cyberspace, creating new social contract for an interconnected world based on human dignity, equity and inclusion – SDGs agenda provides an opportunity to advance a new globally networked paradigm for transformative justice in a digital age
- Setting the context: (for poverty reduction) over 1 billion live on less than $1/day – no identity
- 2 billion people: no access to health care & transport – mobile device is the key, but identity legal framework is lacking
- In fact, beyond identity legal framework, the need to catalyze development of a trusted governance structure for cyberspace is paramount
- empower women and children, develop global partnerships for development and self-sovereign identity
- Information economy with mobile access matters for poverty reduction (may decrease poverty)
- poverty as moving target of globalization
- combination of media and ICT in 2010 (digital convergence era)
- need access to information as well as access to generating tools for using this knowledge
- Information economy--SDG and identity, poverty reduction, climate justice and rule of law
- Requirements for win-win
- offline must meet with online
- governments meet with civil society – rule of law for a flat word requires reorientation of who makes rules
- globalization to meet with rural and remote areas
- Economic reform -> Knowledge economy (2020)
