Czech Republic

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 the Czech Republic (NWG–Czech Republic) and the Nexus Ecosystem (NE), developed by the Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI).

The Czech Republic today faces interlinked and accelerating systemic risks:
Increasing droughts and water scarcity, riverine flooding, extreme weather volatility, biodiversity degradation in forests and wetlands, food and water security pressures, and energy transition challenges.
These vulnerabilities align directly with the foresight imperatives outlined in the Pact for the Future, requiring sovereign, anticipatory, and innovation-centered resilience strategies.

The Czech Republic has demonstrated leadership in sustainable urban planning, environmental conservation, and clean energy diversification efforts. However, the accelerating pace and complexity of systemic risks necessitate enhanced systemic foresight infrastructures, anticipatory governance platforms, and sovereign digital public goods.

The National Working Group for the Czech Republic (NWG–Czech Republic) addresses these systemic needs by:

• Embedding systemic foresight, disaster risk governance, and anticipatory policy innovation into national climate resilience, energy transition, biodiversity conservation, and sustainable development frameworks;

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

• Mobilizing distributed expertise across ministries, scientific and technical research institutions, renewable energy and water resource management sectors, urban resilience planners, private sector innovators, and civil society organizations;

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

NWG–Czech Republic’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 the Czech Republic’s leadership in systemic foresight and sustainable governance.

Together, NWG–Czech Republic and the Nexus Ecosystem provide the Czech Republic 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–Czech Republic 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–Czech Republic’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 the Czech Republic’s disaster risk intelligence infrastructures, anticipatory policy simulation platforms, innovation ecosystem monitoring, and sustainable governance frameworks;

4. Framework Integration, ensuring systematic inclusion of NWG–Czech Republic 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 the Czech Republic and the broader Central European region demand sovereign, anticipatory, and digitally sovereign infrastructures.
NWG–Czech Republic 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 the Czech Republic.

Respectfully submitted,
