 The Broadband Commission for Sustainable Development was founded ten years ago by ITU, UNESCO, President Paul Kagame of Rwanda, and Carlos Slim Hulu of Mexico. Its mission is to boost broadband on the international policy agenda and expand access across the world. This year, we honor all past and current broadband commissioners who have helped us foster partnerships between international organizations, the private sector, government, and civil society to realize our goals. Together, they have accelerated the global response to the coronavirus pandemic through the creation of the Agenda for Action, and progressed significantly in the areas of child online safety, digital health, education, and many more. Above all, they have published a series of annual state of broadband reports to track progress and assess impact. Thanks to the advocacy work of our commissioners, the number of countries that now have access to broadband plans has increased by over 60% worldwide in the last decade. While 2020 is a year of celebration for the Broadband Commission, it also marks a crucial turning point. There remain just ten years to achieve the UN 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda. Today, only half of the world's population is using the internet, leaving 3.6 billion people unconnected. The Broadband Commission is committed to supporting digital cooperation to build this critical infrastructure for accelerating sustainable development. The Broadband Commission will continue to contribute to key areas of the UN Secretary General's newly launched roadmap for digital cooperation, calling for building back better with broadband, to accelerate the development of digital society, and to leave no one offline. We hope you can join us virtually this year in honoring the past decade of leadership and looking ahead to the decade of action. A decade where ICTs will continue to make the world safer, stronger, and more connected.
