What would happen if the digital systems we depend on every day suddenly stopped working? In this episode of ITU Tech Monthly, we explore the findings of the new expert report When digital systems fail: The hidden risks of our digital world, produced by ITU in collaboration with UNDRR and Sciences Po. We unpack the critical digital risks that are not cyberattacks—but failures of the physical digital infrastructure that underpins modern life. From cloud and data centre outages to undersea cable disruptions, satellite congestion and even space weather, this conversation reveals why our increasingly connected digital ecosystem may be more fragile than we realise—and why resilience planning must move beyond individual systems to an ecosystem-wide approach.Guests featured in this episode:- Tomas Lamanauskas, Deputy Secretary-General, ITU- Dr. Bushra Al Blooshi, Executive Director of Governance and Risk Management, Dubai Electronic Security Center- Professor Oyku Isik, Co-Chair of the Expert Group; Professor and Advisor on Digital Resilience; Co-Chair of GFC at WEHost: Maximillian Jacobson-GonzalezIn this episode, we discuss:- What a “digital pandemic” could look like- Why cloud infrastructure remains a blind spot in risk planning- Dangerous hidden interdependencies in global digital systems- Why resilience is not just a technical challenge—but a governance oneLearn more about the report: https://www.itu.intSubscribe to ITU Tech Monthly for more insights on technology.Produced and Edited by: Jennifer MacLeod and Daniel Woldu * Directed and Presented by: Maximillian Jacobson-Gonzalez * An ITU Digital ProductionITU is the leading United Nations agency for digital technologies, driving innovation together with 193 Member States and a membership of some 900 private sector entities and academic institutions.

Since I was very young, probably six, seven years old, I was fascinated with the night skies. I would look at these beautiful, shiny objects in the darkness of the night sky and wonder what they are, why they're bright, you know, how I can go get closer to them. I wanted to go to space to touch them, to understand them. And this question, as I grew a little bit older, the question of, you know, why are we here? What am I doing here? What is this, how this world came to be and the role of humanity and the place we are in time in the grand scheme of things. So these questions are, and my curiosity to find the answers to these questions, what drew me to math science and got me set up on my path to actually being where I am an engineer, a business woman, and an astronaut."

“We always think about the socio-demographic factors of how technologies are built, intersect with socio-demographic factors such as race, gender and sexual orientation. And it is really important that those who are building these technologies are aware, are reflective of our diverse backgrounds, ideas, our beliefs, all of that. That is how we get our future technology right.” Sinead Bovell, Founder, WAYE and Youth Tech Leader

Interviewer: Maximillian Jacobson-Gonzalez, ITU
The exponential rise of technology and its widespread adoption has led to a dual effect. On the one hand, there are a rising number of devices and electronics in the market, exacerbating an already growing waste and resource challenge. On the other hand, new technology has also led to an increase in digital solutions and innovation that is a catalyst to transforming electronic value chains towards a circular model.
Doreen Bogdan-Martin speaks with Dr. Naoko Ishii, Executive Vice President, Professor at Institute for Future Initiative, Director, Center for Global Commons, University of Tokyo, on the opportunities that digitalization and connectivity bring to the transition towards a circular economy for electronics, particularly in building sustainable e-waste management systems.

In this first episode of the podcast, Connie and Sophiyat, from the Generation Connect Asia-Pacific and African Regional Youth Groups, share with us their personal stories on how the Covid-19 pandemic impacted their education on two opposite sides of the world, while questionning the relevance of the current educational system in the wake of a global transition to online learning.
Not only does the technology we use create mountains of e-waste that can be difficult to dispose of safely, but much of it also contains valuable, rare and finite minerals and metals that are essential for the continuing production of new models of technology. Very few countries regulate this waste stream. E-waste is not just a topic for environmentalists, but for all technology producers and policymakers. Hear about this and the efforts to improve e-waste management, from our expert speakers on this episode of Technology for Good which is being launched for International E-waste Day, an annual UN day to highlight the growing e-waste issue.

Ageing is becoming a megatrend. Around the world birth rates are declining, while people are living longer, healthier lives. For the first time in human history, people over the age of 60 outnumber those under the age of five. A population predicted to reach 2 billion by the year 2050.
To help us prepare for this new reality, the World Health Organization and the United Nations have launched the Decade of Healthy Ageing. From 2021 to 2030, this decade will contain milestones related to the Sustainable Development Goals.
In this episode we are focusing on how technology can have a major part to play in ensuring that this population does not go underserved, but that will only happen if both technology creators and policy makers are aware of and act on this dramatic shift in the global demographic.
Featuring plenty of great content including interviews and extracts from experts and luminaries at major ITU events this year such as WSIS FORUM 2021 and facts and figures from ITU's brand new report: "Ageing in a digital world - from vulnerable to valuable".

Up to 70% of disabilities are invisible but they can still present a barrier to access and use the growing range of information technologies available.
This episode explores innovations in the accessibility space from established companies like Google and Microsoft to the new softwares and entrepreneurial ventures developed by people living with disability who experienced and realised a need that was not being met, and did something about it. With many extracts from the WSIS FORUM 2021 discussions.

Written and presented by Phillippa Biggs, ITU.
At a recently held session of the ITU Economic Experts Roundtable, experts discussed the importance of having access to quality connectivity in offsetting the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, and in promoting overall digital inclusion. The COVID-19 crisis has accelerated the existing long-term trends in the telecom industry, such as increased screen time, remote work and learning, dependency on the public cloud providers and digital finance. The role of digital technologies in recovery from COVID-19 is important, for example, in health responses and automated analysis. However, some experts warned that digital technologies are not a panacea for all the problems. The long-term challenge remains to fight extreme digital inequalities by making health information and online opportunities available to all. Long-term challenges persist in how to fund the networks, roll them out and make them secure and reliable.
Telecommunications and ICT infrastructure and connectivity is vital now more than ever for the sake of not only all our health but also the health of our economies and our future. Listen to our exclusive technological expert interviewees share their opinions and their perspectives, in this latest episode of our new podcast series.
