A campaign to UN member countries to establish an International Decade on Data
for people and planet.



Data is a critical resource for policy-making, innovation, and economic growth.

Yet, we face significant challenges in harnessing data for the global good. 

These challenges include:



Data asymmetries in terms of data availability, quality, infrastructure and
capabilities

Balancing competing interests around protecting and opening of data

Lack of a unified and trustworthy space to agree on what responsibly unlocking
the value of data for all means and how to operationalize it



A new sense of urgency is required to ensure we do not miss or lock away the
benefits of the data century.



Establishing an International Decade on Data for People and Planet could provide
a mission-driven process and vision for international data cooperation that can
simulate international investment, bridge capacity gaps, leverage specialist
expertise in the private sector, and reduce barriers to data sharing.




WHAT ARE INTERNATIONAL DECADES?


The United Nations designates specific days, weeks, years, and decades as
occasions to mark particular events or topics in order to promote, through
awareness and action, the objectives of the Organization.

High degree of multi-stakeholder cooperation is a hallmark of previous
international decades. It was key to the success of the International Decade on
Water Supply and Sanitation (1981-1991), the International Decade for Natural
Disaster Reduction (1990-1999), and the Water for Life Decade (2005-2015).



A call for an International Decade on Data was referenced in the High-Level
Advisory Board on Effective Multilateralism (HLAB) report released in 2023.
Appointed by United Nations Secretary General, the High-Level Advisory Board
sought to identify concrete, actionable recommendations that support a radical
shift in international cooperation for the advancement of the 2030 Agenda for
Sustainable Development. See Shift Four on Digital and Data Governance. 




MORE ON WHY WE NEED AN INTERNATIONAL DECADE ON DATA

This working paper by Lorrayne Porciuncula argues that a call for an
International Decade for Data should be seen as a resounding call to action for
global leaders to set a transformative agenda; an agenda that acknowledges the
interconnected nature of data’s potential and underscores the collective
responsibility to wield it conscientiously.



This working paper by David Passarelli, Muznah Siddiqui and Alona Savishchenko,
makes the case for an International Decade for Data, covering the period
2025–2035 – and representing a global commitment to improving consistency and
coherence in the data policy landscape. 


The focus of Stefaan Verhulst’s working paper is to highlight the importance of
data in shaping our future and the UN SDGs and the critical need for a
strategic, ethical approach to its use. It encourages a global, collaborative
effort – an International Decade of Data – to redefine data governance, ensuring
that it serves not only the interests of powerful entities but also upholds the
rights and freedoms of individuals and communities across the world.


In a commentary article published in Fortune, UNU Rector Tshilidzi Marwala and
UNU-CPR Director David Passarelli make the case for governments and the United
Nations to stay ahead of the curve of innovation by initiating an International
Decade for Data. The authors describe how data-driven technologies are shaping
how we live and highlight the risks of society splintering into AI ‘haves’ and
‘have-nots’ if we do not do something about it.
