International standards ensure positive change
It has always been a changing world, but the pace of change today is accelerating still further. The international community is facing many new challenges, not least shifting global markets and serious economic issues around the world, as well as continuously evolving ones such as climate change or social responsibility. At the same time, the imperative to deal with financial crises, to disseminate promising technological innovations ever more rapidly and to make sure that developing countries are not left by the wayside of economic progress are equally urgent. These challenges are global in scale and need global solutions. International standards of the type developed by IEC, ISO and ITU distil state-of-the-art expertise to provide practical, globally relevant tools for tackling global challenges. The principles of continual improvement and broad stakeholder input on which international standards are based make those standards flexible instruments for putting public and private sectors in the same team colours to meet the challenges of a changing world. International standards help to put the opportunity into change. The above text is intended to provide background on the theme of WSD 2013. It is not the actual text of the WSD 2013 message. This will be released in mid-year. |
