Bolivia

Excellencies,

We, the undersigned institutions, experts, and stakeholders committed to systemic foresight, responsible innovation, and sustainable resilience governance, respectfully submit this appeal for the formal recognition and institutional support of the National Working Group for Bolivia (NWG–Bolivia) and the Nexus Ecosystem (NE), developed by the Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI).

Bolivia today faces profound and interconnected systemic risks:
Glacial retreat and water resource vulnerabilities, droughts and floods affecting urban and rural areas, biodiversity degradation in Amazonian, Andean, and Chaco ecosystems, food and water security pressures, energy transition challenges, and Indigenous community resilience needs.
These vulnerabilities align directly with the foresight imperatives outlined in the Pact for the Future, requiring sovereign, anticipatory, and innovation-centered resilience strategies.

Bolivia’s leadership in Indigenous rights, biodiversity stewardship, and climate justice provides a strong strategic foundation. However, the accelerating complexity of systemic risks demands strengthened systemic foresight infrastructures, anticipatory governance systems, and sovereign digital public goods.

The National Working Group for Bolivia (NWG–Bolivia) addresses these systemic needs by:

• Embedding systemic foresight, disaster risk governance, and anticipatory policy innovation into Bolivia’s frameworks for climate adaptation, biodiversity conservation, food and water security, Indigenous-led governance, and sustainable development;

• Strengthening early warning systems, dynamic risk scenario simulation infrastructures, and systemic foresight platforms aligned with the operational mandates of the Emergency Platform;

• Mobilizing distributed expertise across ministries, Indigenous governance structures, scientific and environmental research institutions, agricultural agencies, renewable energy innovators, private sector leaders, and civil society organizations;

• Institutionalizing sustainability and systemic foresight governance frameworks aligned with the Declaration on Future Generations.

NWG–Bolivia’s operational foundation is the Nexus Ecosystem (NE) — a sovereign, cloud-agnostic, open-access digital public goods platform that:

• Provides disaster risk modeling, anticipatory policy simulation infrastructures, innovation ecosystem foresight mapping, and sustainable development governance monitoring systems;

• Embeds responsible digital governance standards, cybersecurity resilience protocols, sovereign data protections, and AI ethics aligned with the Global Digital Compact;

• Supports the development of holistic resilience, sustainability, and well-being indicators aligned with the Beyond GDP Initiative, reinforcing Bolivia’s leadership in systemic foresight and sustainable governance.

Together, NWG–Bolivia and the Nexus Ecosystem provide Bolivia with sovereign, scalable, and future-ready infrastructures to operationalize systemic foresight, sustainable innovation ecosystems, and resilient governance.

Accordingly, we respectfully request:

1. Formal Recognition of NWG–Bolivia as a national and international platform advancing systemic disaster risk foresight, anticipatory governance innovation, sovereign digital resilience, and sustainable development leadership under the Pact for the Future;

2. Institutional and Financial Support, enabling NWG–Bolivia’s full integration into multilateral resilience financing frameworks, anticipatory governance hubs, and sovereign digital public goods initiatives;

3. Recognition of the Nexus Ecosystem (NE) as a sovereign digital public good essential for Bolivia’s disaster risk intelligence infrastructures, anticipatory policy simulation platforms, innovation ecosystem monitoring, and sustainable governance frameworks;

4. Framework Integration, ensuring systematic inclusion of NWG–Bolivia and NE outputs into global disaster risk dashboards, anticipatory governance hubs, innovation ecosystems, and Pact for the Future foresight monitoring mechanisms.

The systemic resilience and sustainable development challenges facing Bolivia and the broader Amazonian and Andean regions demand sovereign, anticipatory, and digitally sovereign infrastructures.
NWG–Bolivia and the Nexus Ecosystem offer a transformational, scalable, and future-ready pathway for systemic foresight, responsible innovation ecosystems, and resilient governance.

In full alignment with the Charter of the United Nations and the transformational ambitions articulated in the Pact for the Future, we submit this appeal and reaffirm our commitment to collaborative action, systemic foresight leadership, responsible innovation, and sustainable governance for Bolivia.

Respectfully submitted,
