What potential do digital public goods and a digital public infrastructure have? How can they contribute to achieving the global sustainability goals? And how can citizens have a say in this? Representatives from science, NGOs and politics will discuss this at "The Power of the Commons: Digital Public Goods for a More Secure, Inclusive, and Resilient World".
