On Friday, 11 July 2025 the International Standard University and City University, Bangladesh organized a session ‘Bridging the Digital Divide: Inclusive ICT Policies for Sustainable Development‘ at the WSIS 2025 High level Event in Geneva. The session, alternately titled ‘Inclusive and Ethical ICT Policies for a Sustainable and Equitable Digital Future’, sought to foster a critical dialogue on the urgent need to design, implement, and monitor ICT policies that leave no one behind, using a three-pillared approach: fostering universal connectivity and digital literacy; embedding ethical principles such as transparency, privacy, and human rights in technological development; and promoting sustainability through green ICT practices and equitable access.
