Further, it aims to enhance understanding about WSIS and its role in advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Recognizing impactful and existing digital governance processes, such as WSIS, that have shaped the technological landscape, this side event will also foster discussions on the forthcoming WSIS+20 review.
