Cybersecurity and Sustainable Development: A Global Path Forward

Throughout 2023 and 2024, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Sweden, the International Telecommunications Union (ITU), the Global Forum on Cyber Expertise (GFCE), and Microsoft brought economic development and cybersecurity communities together through the organization of multistakeholder workshops.

During these workshops, key recommendations, lessons learned, and good practices were collected from a diverse group of experts, practitioners, and stakeholders. Based on what we heard and learned in these discussions, we have developed this Compendium titled Cybersecurity and Sustainable Development: A Global Path Forward that offers development practitioners, governments, international organizations, and other stakeholders a useful resource to support their efforts to advance cyber capacity building and inclusive development cooperation on digital issues.

The insights and ideas captured in these discussions and reported in this compendium reflect the diverse perspectives and expertise of a broad multistakeholder group, not necessarily the views of any one individual participant or the co-chairs of this project.
