🎓 >95% of Indonesian Students Access ICT via Mobile Phones
In 2023, 98% of Indonesian tertiary students accessed ICT via mobile phones, while only 56% had computer access, highlighting a reliance on mobile devices. The Indonesian government addresses this through initiatives like Merdeka Belajar, promoting digital learning and distributing laptops to underprivileged schools. These efforts align with the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly Goal 4, aiming for inclusive and equitable quality education, ultimately enhancing ICT access and educational outcomes for all students.
🍃 Italy's Renewable Energy Up 30% From 2012 to 2022
Italy's renewable energy capacity surged from 23GW in 2008 to nearly 60GW by 2022, driven by government policies promoting solar and wind energy. This growth supports Italy's goals to achieve 131 GW of renewable capacity by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2050. Initiatives like the Renewable Energy Communities and streamlined permitting processes, backed by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan, enhance local engagement and diversify the energy mix for a sustainable future.

The Immunization Agenda 2030 aims for at least 95% coverage, targeting underserved communities. Initiatives like the Expanded Programme on Immunization enhance access and awareness, emphasizing the need for collaboration among governments and organizations to eradicate polio and improve health outcomes across the region.
