Tech for Good: The Role of ICT in Achieving the SDGs (edX)

What opportunities and challenges do digital technologies present for the development of our society? Tech for Good was developed by UNESCO and Cetic, the Brazilian Network Information Center’s Regional Center for Studies on the Development of the Information Society. It brings together thought leaders and changemakers in the fields of information and communication technologies (ICT) and sustainable development to show how digital technologies are empowering billions of people around the world by providing access to education, healthcare, banking, and government services; and how “big data” is being used to inform smarter, evidence-based policies to improve people’s lives in fundamental ways.
