Introducing the Internet Society's 2019 Impact Report – Internet Society

In these uncertain times we know the Internet is so much more than a tool. It’s a way for people to stay connected, informed, and educated. It shortens distances, spurs innovation, and fosters social and economic development. It empowers us and frees us.
It is a lifeline.
Yet, nearly 50% of the world still remains unconnected – and globally the Internet faces threats, each with the power to undermine the core of its existence. Now more than ever we must ensure the Internet remains open, globally connected, and secure.
The world is counting on it.
As we looked back at our work in 2019, an inspiring theme emerged: a global society driven by the idea that the Internet should be a resource for all, and persevering against odds to make this vision a reality. This society recognizes the Internet’s power as a way to stay in touch, to empower, to enable, and to create. Collectively, we are not just helping to bridge the digital divide, we are taking action to ensure the Internet remains resilient and trusted – a force for good.
Our 2019 Impact Report highlights the work of the Internet Society – our Chapters, Organization Members, individual members, and our staff – who are working to grow and strengthen the Internet. Together we convened, advocated, supported, and partnered for one vital resource: The Internet.
Collaboration. The power of a strong community. Working side-by-side through challenges to create the Internet we all want for the benefit of everyone. This is what you’ll find reflected throughout the 2019 Impact Report.
Explore the 2019 Impact Report and see how we’re working with our community and allies around the world to keep the Internet a force for good. To our global community and partners: thank you.
