EU-UNESCO DIALOGUE ON HUMAN RIGHTS-BASED DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION

By Reinhard Jacobsen

BRUSSELS | 7 July (IDN) — At a pivotal dialogue, leaders from the European Union
and UNESCO have committed to “responsibly harness” digital innovation for
sustainable development, cultural diversity, human rights and gender equality.

The event on 5 July was co-chaired by Zazie Schafer, Director of UNESCO’s Bureau
of Strategic Planning, and Stella Ronner, Deputy Managing Director for Values
and Multilateral Relations at EU External Action Service. It marked a
significant collaboration aimed at addressing the ethical dimensions and
opportunities of digital technologies in today’s global landscape.

The digital transformation has created new spaces of human invention,
imagination and expression and it holds significant potential to leapfrog
progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

At the same time, there are growing digital divides, including digital gender
divides, cyber threats, the rapid spread of disinformation and hate speech, or
challenges to social and economic rights of artists.

The participants agreed that technologies have set a stage where the quest for
equality, social justice and respect for human rights takes on entirely new
dimensions, including in crisis situations.

They consider it as a priority to ensure that technological development,
including artificial intelligence and new frontier technologies, are used for
the common good and that rights are guaranteed and respected.

This work is anchored in that of the broader UN family to which we contribute
and benefit from, including in the priorities identified by the EU-UN dialogue,
where “digital” is one of the six thematic priorities for joint EU-UN impact.

The dialogue began with an introductory session emphasizing the importance of
shared principles in navigating the digital transformation era. Discussions
underscored the impact of digital technologies, including AI, on governance,
information integrity, and online freedom of expression for journalists and
artists. Key themes such as combating online disinformation, promoting media
information literacy, and ensuring an inclusive digital transformation were
central to the dialogue.

INTERSECTION OF DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION AND SDGS

An important focus was on the intersection of digital transformation and
sustainable development goals (SDGs). Participants explored risks and
opportunities in leveraging digital technologies to accelerate progress across
education, science, and cultural preservation. Mentioned examples included the
role of AI in science, digital solutions for open science, and innovative
approaches like the Digital Twin of the Ocean to support environmental
sustainability.

Looking ahead, the dialogue highlighted ongoing cooperation initiatives between
the EU and UNESCO sectors, identifying opportunities for deeper collaboration in
the coming year. Key milestones such as the Summit of the Future and the Global
Digital Compact were identified as critical platforms for joint advocacy and
policy advancement.

Over the past 10 years, since the signature of our EU-UNESCO MoU in 2022,
partnership between the two has grown significantly. The UNESCO-EU partnership
now encompasses a wide range of joint endeavours across diverse sectors, from
education, culture, freedom of expression, the blue and green transitions to
human rights-based digital transformation. Having engaged in more than 70
countries on various areas, UNESCO and the EU aim at supporting the acceleration
of the 2030 Agenda. [IDN-InDepthNews]
