Water security increasingly depends on digital resilience. Protecting essential services means protecting the digital systems that keep them running. Proud to deliver this message before esteemed ministers at the #UNGA81 “United for Water” event, hosted by Senegal and the Global Water Organization (@GwOint). When digital water systems are disrupted, the consequences reach hospitals, schools, farms, businesses, and homes. As we strengthen water security, we must strengthen digital resilience too. Because protecting water security also means protecting the digital infrastructure that keeps water flowing. #WaterResilienceIsDigitalResilience #UnitedforWater #DigitalProsperity4All

Trust is the currency of multilateralism. And today, the world needs more of it. It was a great pleasure meeting the President of the 81st Session of the @UN General Assembly, H.E. Dr. Khailur Rahman (@UN_PGA), as he begins his presidency at such a critical time. His #UNGA81 remarks on restoring trust and making the UN more inclusive, particularly for the Global South, deeply align with our work at @dcorg. With #Bangladesh a valued DCO Member State, we look forward to working together towards a more inclusive digital future built on trust, cooperation, and shared opportunity. #DigitalTrust #DigitalProsperity4All

At #UNGA81, we signed an MoU between @UNESCWA & @dcorg to advance digital economy development and responsible, inclusive #AI, bringing together regional policy expertise & digital economy experience to turn national progress into regional impact.

What will define AI leadership in the years ahead? At #UNGA81, global leaders brought different perspectives to one shared conversation: how to shape AI with greater accountability, agency, resilience and inclusion. From responsible governance and stronger digital foundations to skills, sovereignty and meaningful participation, these voices point to a future where AI progress is measured not only by technological capability, but by the impact it creates for people and economies. Swipe through some of their perspectives. @UN @antonioguterres @WilliamsRuto @MusoniPaula @Dalyahya #DCO #ArtificialIntelligence #AIGovernance #AISovereignty #DigitalCooperation #DigitalProsperity4All

One water value chain. Five challenges. One opportunity to build what’s next. 💧 The need for smarter water systems is becoming increasingly urgent. 🌍 Around 4 billion people experience severe water scarcity for at least part of the year. 💧 Global freshwater withdrawals have increased 14% since 2000. 📉 Urban water supply systems globally lose an estimated 40% of water through non-revenue water. These are not challenges that infrastructure investment alone can solve. They also require better intelligence: the ability to predict, optimize, detect and respond faster. That is the opportunity behind #FutureMakers. We are calling on startups, researchers, technology companies and innovators to develop and validate scalable AI-enabled solutions that can predict risks, optimize operations, reduce water losses, energy consumption, costs and environmental impact, strengthening water security and resilience across Saudi Arabia and DCO Member States. From efficiency and circularity to resilience, safety and sustainability, find the challenge track where your technology can make an impact. Ready to turn your AI solution into real-world impact? Apply now before October 4. dco.org/initiatives/nexabrid… @MEWA_KSA @SaudiRDI @KACST #FutureMakers #AIforCriticalSustainability #NexaBridge #DigitalProsperity4All

Safeguarding civilian digital infrastructure requires more than technical solutions, it requires cooperation, resilience and shared responsibility. At the DCO Breakfast High-Level Roundtable, “Critical Civilian Digital Infrastructure: Safeguarding Agency, Resilience, and the Public Interest,” held during the 2nd Digital Cooperation Day with UN ODET on the sidelines of #UNGA81, DCO Secretary-General Deemah AlYahya highlighted the need to protect the digital systems societies increasingly depend on and to move digital cooperation from dialogue to practical action. #DigitalCooperationDay #DigitalResilience #DigitalCooperation #DigitalProsperity4All @ODET_UN @UN @Dalyahya

“Equality is not a dream. It is a decision.” @antonioguterres says despite notable progress, women and girls continue to face discrimination, violence, exclusion and abuse around the world. “This is an outrage – and a profound waste for humanity.” un.org/sg/en/content/sg/stat…

Saudi Arabia is looking beyond its own transformation, bringing the world together to tackle one of humanity’s most fundamental challenges: water. Delighted to meet H.E. Dr. Fahad Balghunaim, Head of the Founding Team of the Global Water Organization (GWO), a global intergovernmental organization born in the heart of Riyadh in 2023. At #UNGA81, we explored how water security is increasingly digital, with water systems relying on digital infrastructure for monitoring, treatment, distribution, and continuity. With 2 billion+ people lacking safely managed drinking water, @GwOint and @dcorg can combine expertise in water security and digital resilience to help safeguard the critical systems communities depend on. Because #WaterResilienceIsDigitalResilience. #DigitalProsperity4All #SaudiArabia

Women are not looking for just a seat at the table. They are ready to use their influence to shape what comes next. And if there is no table, we build one. Our yearly Women at the Table dinner, co-hosted with the inspiring HRH Princess Reema bint Bandar Al Saud (@rbalsaud), one of the greatest supporters and enablers of women and their leadership, brings remarkable women leaders from government, diplomacy, business, and international organizations together. Because representation is only the beginning. Every door we walk through should become easier for another woman to open. When we turn individual influence into collective impact, we make the table bigger and bring more women with us. @KGeorgieva @EgriseldaL @maisacastillob @dianebrady #UNGA81 #WomenAtTheTable #DigitalProsperity4All

Digital resilience cannot become another digital divide. During #UNGA81 Digital Cooperation Day, DCO Secretary-General Deemah AlYahya joined a high-level roundtable hosted by the United Nations Office for Digital and Emerging Technologies, highlighting the need to build resilient digital foundations that protect essential services, sustain development and withstand disruption. As our digital world becomes increasingly interconnected, strengthening resilience requires shared responsibility across governments, industry, financial institutions and international organizations. Because access alone is not enough. The digital foundations we build must also endure. #DigitalCooperation #DigitalResilience #DigitalProsperity4All @Dalyahya @UN
