CLOSING THE DIGITAL<br />
DIVIDE<br />
GRACE KOH<br />
VICE PRESIDENT & HEAD OF GOVERMENT AFFAIRS<br />
NOKIA NORTH AMERICA<br />
Grace Koh: Technology is incredibly critical to sustainability in particular,<br />
and also obviously to inclusivity and closing that digital divide. Let's talk<br />
about it first from the Nokia standpoint. Nokia is completely committed to<br />
the SDGs. They are committed not only to reducing their own carbon<br />
footprint but also to producing equipment that will help other companies<br />
reduce their carbon footprint. But then there's a third layer that goes on<br />
further where the equipment that we help deploy 5G can actually also help<br />
societies minimize our footprint by helping us allocate resources better and<br />
direct our planning and resources into the right places. So that can help us<br />
use less and target the people that need it the most, making sure that they<br />
are getting the help that they need. So technology can help us reach our<br />
SDGs in a significant way. Nokia is committed to being part of that.<br />
George Sifakis: That's incredible. You mentioned 5G having this impact.<br />
How does the obverse of this happen? How does technological inequality<br />
impact communities and the overall achievement of these global goals?<br />
How does that happen?<br />
