 Hi, everyone. I'm Brad Smith, the Vice Chair and President of Microsoft, and I'm really honored and pleased this year to be the co-chair of SDG Digital Day. The last few years have also been serving as an SDG advocate for the Secretary General. And in so many ways, I have to admit I am so happy to see this day arrive, a day where there is a focus on the role of data and digital technology in rescuing, revitalizing, and driving forward the 17 sustainable development goals. Basically, as soon as I became an SDG advocate, I started to do what you'd probably expect somebody from Microsoft to do. Where's the data? How do we know whether we're making the progress that we should? How are we using digital technology to drive progress forward? It's a huge opportunity. And thanks to this year, thanks to the leadership of the ITU and so many people, I actually think we're starting to put data to work the way we should. The truth is there's a lot of data out there, but we're not using it the way we should and now we can. By bringing it together, by harnessing the power of data science, by combining it with the power of digital technologies, we truly have a much better opportunity to address the climate needs of the planet, to move forward economic development in a much more inclusive way, to protect human rights around the world, in effect to do everything that the sustainable development goals ask of us, ask of us to do what we should, to serve the people of the world today, to build a better world for the future. Thank you for what you're doing. I think if we can continue down this path, we can do what we truly need to do, which is make the time from now to the end of this decade, a time where momentum is accelerated, this is improved, and we can actually make the world a better place. Thank you.
