Summary
Imagine losing not just your home, but your very name in the eyes of the world. For nearly a billion people, displacement through conflict, climate disaster, or instability erases the formal identity that grants access to education, healthcare, work, and protection. Without it, participation in society becomes impossible. This session will highlight new pioneering work on universal, human-centric digital identity, designed to reduce inequalities and strengthen all other SDGs.
