Focus on the importance of timely, comprehensive, and cross-border access to environmental information in an increasingly digital world
The theme for IDUAI 2025, “Ensuring Access to Environmental Information in the Digital Age”, focuses on the vital importance of timely, comprehensive, and cross-border access to environmental information in an increasingly digital world. Environmental data, encompassing climate change, pollution, biodiversity, and disaster risks, transcends national borders, necessitating collaborative, transparent, and innovative global sharing of information. This theme also highlights how digital technologies and open data platforms can enhance public access, foster transparency, and empower citizens and stakeholders to participate meaningfully in environmental governance and sustainable development.
This conference is organized by UNESCO with the active participation and collaboration of key partners, including the International Conference on Information Commissioners (ICIC), Open Government Partnership (OGP), and the Freedom of Information Advocates Network (FOIAnet), which brings expertise in access to information, digital innovation, and advocacy.
