The Digital Watch observatory, an initiative of the Geneva Internet Platform (operated by DiploFoundation) in partnership with the Internet Society, is a comprehensive Internet governance and digital policy observatory. The platform – at https://dig.watch – provides a neutral one-stop shop for the latest developments, overviews and explanatory texts, events, resources, and other content related to 50+ topics, processes, and trends in Internet governance and digital policy. The observatory’s contribution to helping achieve the SDGs is that through the information and knowledge on digital policy it disseminates, it is empowering communities worldwide to participate in the policy processes that affect them.
