The Vatican on Monday issued a declaration, “Dignitas Infinita,” on human dignity, warning that the practice of surrogacy, transgender surgeries, and gender theory are contrary to human dignity.

The name of the document translates to “Infinite Dignity,” and it’s a five-year-long product of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith that reaffirms Catholic Church teaching on the topics. It addresses a number of weighty topics that have entered the political sphere, including surrogacy.
So of course, this article doesn't help define "dignity," and it isn't clear how significant it is, if really at all. It's also strange that this apparently took 5 years to work on, but I can also imagine there were several layers of bureaucracy that it had to go through.

No, but the full declaration does. It defines several forms of dignity.
The full declaration is here.
Yet, your comment above indicates you are relying on a report by a journalist to tell you what the declaration says and "how significant it is". The declaration isn't that long, so perhaps it's worth reading rather than relying on a journalist?
When you bolded the name of the office in your quote, I thought you were going to call attention to it. The Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith is the most old school of groups, they despise the Jesuits... oh, and their original name was the Supreme Sacred Congregation of the Roman and Universal Inquisition. Gentleman, the Inquisition just dropped a gauntlet on the Pope.

I have no concept of the office, just noting that this apparently took them 5 years to make (I might hope among other documents).
Oh, trust me, DDF doesn't make a move like this without having planned other moves.
