Information for Sustainable Development: Technology, People and Society

A core agrument of the book is that in addition to data and technology, human and social issues, and the associated challenges are also important for achieving success in different SDGs. For example, it critically analyses some datasets around SDG16.10, focusing on the access to information legislations, and the digital and information skills that are required to access the relevant data and information, arguing and demonstrating that unless people's skills are improved and the digital divide in society and communities is reduced, legislations alone cannot guarantee the intended goal of access to information for all in every country and society.
