In this era of digital revolution, our world undergoes a metamorphosis like never before. Digital technologies promise boundless advantages for the welfare of individuals, societies, and the environment, offering a pathway towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.

1. Digital technologies are dramatically transforming our world. They offer immense potential benefits for the wellbeing and advancement of people, societies, and for our planet. They hold out the promise of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.

2. We are determined to realize these opportunities. We recognize our shared responsibility to harness the benefits of technology for all. Equally, the misuse and missed use of digital technologies harms all of us and we are committed to anticipate and mitigate risks.

3. Our goal is an inclusive, open, safe, and secure digital future for all. We can only achieve this through international cooperation and governance that closes digital divides and advances an equitable and inclusive digital world. This Global Digital Compact sets out the objectives, commitments, and actions we undertake to achieve this goal.

4. We have strong foundations on which to build. Our digital cooperation rests on the purposes and principles of the United Nations Charter and international law, including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the 2030 Agenda. We remain committed to the vision of the World Summit on the Information Society and its outcome documents. The United Nations provides an indispensable platform for the global digital cooperation we need.

5. Our cooperation must be agile and adaptable to the rapidly changing digital landscape. It is only by working in collaboration and partnership with all stakeholders, including governments, the private sector, civil society, international organizations, and the technical and academic communities, that we can achieve our goal.
