Shaping the future: How can the right to development guide emerging areas such as digital transformation, artificial intelligence, and just transitions to ensure inclusivity and equity? 
What could be practical actions and/or recommendations to accelerate the realization of the right to development, and advance a more just, inclusive and sustainable future for all?
Building consensus: How can the international community better position the right to development as a unifying framework for global action?
