Indonesia

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

Indonesia today faces complex and interconnected systemic risks:
Sea-level rise, coastal erosion, flooding, droughts, seismic and volcanic hazards, biodiversity degradation, food and water security challenges, and urbanization pressures.
These vulnerabilities are aligned with the foresight priorities articulated in the Pact for the Future, demanding sovereign, anticipatory, and innovation-centered resilience strategies.

While Indonesia has made significant progress in climate action, biodiversity conservation, disaster risk reduction, and sustainable urbanization, further opportunities exist to strengthen systemic foresight infrastructures, anticipatory governance systems, and sovereign digital public goods platforms.

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

• Embedding systemic foresight, disaster risk governance, and anticipatory policy innovation into national, regional, and urban climate adaptation, biodiversity, and resilience 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 research communities, private sector innovation leaders, coastal development planners, and civil society networks;

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

NWG–Indonesia’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 tools;

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

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

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

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

The systemic resilience and sustainable development challenges facing Indonesia and the broader Southeast Asian and Indo-Pacific regions demand sovereign, anticipatory, and digitally sovereign infrastructures.
NWG–Indonesia 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 Indonesia.

Respectfully submitted,
