While discussing digital technologies during the 2019 G-STIC conference, the Digital with Purpose: Delivering a SMARTer 2030<\/a> report by the Global Enabling Sustainability Initiative (GeSI) and Deloitte came into view. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This report proved to be quite interesting. To start with, it identifies and quantifies how digital technologies can impact several SDGs. And what\u2019s more, it includes several exciting case studies. These illustrate how digital technologies can help build resilience against climate change. <\/p>\n\n\n\n One such case study discusses the WINnERs (Weather Index-based Risk Services)<\/a> programme. This programme is supported by EIT ClimateKIC<\/a> (the EU’s leading climate innovation initiative) and co-financed by the World Bank. The WINnERs case study is all the more impressive as it clearly demonstrates how digital technologies, when developing and deploying them with a clear commitment to the SDGs, can help reduce existing social and economic inequalities. <\/p>\n\n\n\nDeveloping digital technologies that help reduce inequalities<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
