The programme of IGF 2021 was built around the six issue areas:
- Economic and Social Inclusion and Human Rights
- Universal Access and Meaningful Connectivity
- Emerging Regulation: Market Structure, Content, Data and Consumer Rights and Protection
- Environmental Sustainability and Climate Change
- Inclusive Internet Governance Ecosystems and Digital Cooperation
- Trust, Security and Stability
For more than a decade, the Internet Society has supported multi-stakeholder Internet governance processes around the world by providing funding to the global Internet Governance Forum (IGF) as well as a number of National and Regional Initiatives (NRIs), and Schools of Internet Governance (SIGs).
