UNESCO Chairs High-Level Session on Information Integrity
A closed-door session examining the future of information integrity will take place at the opening of BRIDGE Summit 2025 in Abu Dhabi, with UNESCO serving as chair. The December 6 gathering brings together senior leaders from government, international organisations, media, and technology companies to address challenges reshaping global information systems.
Addressing Digital Information Challenges
The session will examine how rapid technological change and digital influence are transforming political and economic decision-making processes worldwide. Participants will explore fundamental shifts in the global information landscape, focusing on responses to misinformation, content velocity, and narrative impacts on diplomacy and public trust.
Key areas for discussion include developing international cooperation frameworks that strengthen truth protection and reinforce public confidence in information systems. The session aims to establish foundations for coordinated global responses to information-related risks.
Strategic Platform for Global Dialogue
BRIDGE Summit positions itself as a premier platform connecting diverse stakeholders in media and communication sectors. The initiative demonstrates the summit's role in facilitating dialogue between governments, international bodies, technology firms, and policy experts on pressing information challenges.
Summit organisers emphasise the session's focus on constructive understanding rather than prescriptive solutions. The approach seeks to identify alignment among stakeholders and establish groundwork for ongoing international dialogue on information integrity.
Building Future Cooperation
Insights from the closed-door session will inform future collaboration with international organisations working in media development, digital literacy, and narrative integrity protection. The initiative represents a significant component of BRIDGE Summit 2025's mission to develop responsible pathways for information sector innovation.
The UNESCO-chaired session reinforces the summit's ambition to serve as a leading global venue for addressing information challenges and shaping sector development. The gathering reflects growing international recognition of the need for coordinated approaches to information integrity in an increasingly complex digital environment.
