 Welcome to the World Summit on the Information Society 2017. I am very pleased to be joined by the chairman of Jesse, Mr. Luis Neves. Hello. Hello. And thank you for joining us. So the Global E-Sustainability Initiative has a long-time collaboration with ITU, whose deputy secretary-general currently serves as a Jesse board member. So could you tell us a bit more about this collaboration and some of its most important milestones? Well, I guess the collaboration is based on the fact that we have a common goal, a common interest. Basically, what the ITU is doing is to promote a lot of technology. And since technology will be fundamental for a sustainable world, and Jesse was created around the sustainability dimension of the technology as well. The group of companies came together 16 years ago, and we said, okay, ICT will be fundamental for sustainable development, for people, for growth, for the environment. And through collaboration and partnerships, we started to promote the role of information and communication technology in relation to sustainability in general, or in the broad sense. And by that time, of course, we came to the ITU as a fundamental partner. And we invited the ITU to be part of the Jesse board. And since then, Malcolm Johnson has been playing a fundamental role also in helping us to drive our objectives and our strategic objectives. And this collaboration has been lasting now for over 10 years. I've been the chairman of Jesse now for 10 years. And we have been producing amazing work together. Actually, I said this morning in the high-level session that the first time I met the ITU general secretary, Lin Zhao, was in Poznan at the climate conference. We were together promoting the role of technology in relation to climate change. And we have been working in different reports, different events. We have been organizing joint events together in connection with the Sustainable Development Goals in New York, and there are more to come. So talking about reports, you have produced a series of smart reports. Can you tell us a bit more about the concept and how this links in with SDGs? Well, there is an history behind the reports. The reports came out at a time where there were critic voices around technology. And there were many, they called us saying, well, technology is damaging the environment, is not good for the environment. The analyst, Gartner, even put a figure on it and said, well, the ICTS represents 2% of the global emissions, the same as aviation. And we said, well, probably that's true. But we need to understand what is the benefit of ICT, what can ICT do for the others? And so we asked McKinsey to do a first report for us, and we asked three questions. What is our footprint, so how much are we emitting, how much are we enabling, and what is the value of it? And McKinsey did, by that time in 2008, an amazing report. And it was an independent report supervised by the Climate Group and NGO in London. And the results of the report were amazing. So in fact, the 2% were confirmed. But the enabling capacity of technology was five times bigger than our own footprint. So if we are five times better, why shouldn't we use ICT? That was our question. And then the value around it was in the order of the billions of dollars. I cannot remember the figure anymore because I only have the latest ones. And after that, we produced two additional reports just to verify whether the findings of the first report were correct and how was it going. And the latest report, SMART 2030, that was done by Essensier's strategy, was bigger in scope. We enlarged it to the societal dimension of the technology. And the conclusions are amazing. So the report came to the conclusion that we can reduce 20% of the global emissions up to 2030. That means that for the first time, we can decouple. So our technology can decouple economic growth from climate. Secondly, we could realize $11 trillion of benefits, which is equivalent to the GDP of China. And finally, we will be connecting 2.5 billion more people, giving access to 1.6 billion on e-health and half a million on e-education. So just to mention a couple of figures. And these are the developments that are taking place. And if those developments are right, which I think they are, and they have been, let's say, from the first report to this one, we have been seeing the figures growing up. We need to deploy technology. We need connectivity. We need broadband. This is fundamental for sustainable growth. And it's important that different stakeholders, including governments, understand that. That's very impressive work and ambitious targets, as well, obviously. And what's key is a holistic approach, isn't it? Yes. We need a holistic approach. We need different actors to understand what is important, where we need to focus. My belief is that if we come all together, policymakers, UN institutions, the private sector, around the need for deployment of broadband, of connectivity. And if we use that as the fundamental and key technology, we will be seeing a different world in 2013. Without that, we will never achieve the sustainable development goals. I'm deeply convinced that with connectivity, with smart solutions, smart agriculture, e-education, smart buildings, smart mobility, all those smart things, we will be really achieving a better world. And for that to happen, we need those partnerships. We need everybody to understand that we need to be working all together, that from the policy side, we need a good regulatory framework. From the private sector, we need to put money in front, and we need to invest. And from the UN system, we need the help of these global organizations like the ITU to drive the deployment of those technologies. And what do you think are barriers currently in terms of achieving a full digital transformation of the world? And how can we overcome them? Well, I think we have, I would say, two main barriers. I think many current industry sectors, they are afraid of technology. Well, they think, and they are right to some extent, we will be disrupting many current models, and by doing that, of course, we will be affecting current businesses. On the other side, if they embrace technology, they will see and they will be reaping the benefits of that. But it's not easy. This is a very difficult dialogue process, because the first reaction when something transformative comes is to step back. So that's one of the issues. The other one, I think the policymakers have not yet fully understood the need for supporting technology deployment and for deployment of broadband and connectivity. And these, for me, are the two key things that need to happen, and that requires from us, from the private sector, from JSC as an industry organization, from the ITU, a strong dialogue process, so we can convince them about this. The world is changing. The world is changing completely. Technology is moving very, very fast. The transformative capacity of our technology, the disruptive capacity, will be happening whether people like it or not. There are challenges that we need to address, but the benefits are so huge that we cannot miss the opportunity. Mr. Luis Neves, thank you very much. Thank you so much.
