Luxembourg

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

Luxembourg today faces systemic risks and transformational opportunities across critical domains:
Climate-driven flooding and heatwaves, urban sustainability pressures, cross-border water and energy security vulnerabilities, green finance system integration challenges, and emerging digital governance expansion needs.
These vulnerabilities and leadership opportunities align directly with the foresight priorities outlined in the Pact for the Future, requiring sovereign, anticipatory, and innovation-centered resilience strategies.

While Luxembourg has demonstrated leadership in sustainable finance, climate adaptation, and smart city development, further opportunities exist to strengthen systemic foresight infrastructures, anticipatory governance platforms, and sovereign digital public goods ecosystems.

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

• Embedding systemic foresight, disaster risk governance, and anticipatory policy innovation into national and cross-border 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, financial institutions, innovation hubs, research centers, and civil society networks;

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

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

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

• Embeds responsible digital governance standards, cybersecurity resilience frameworks, 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 Luxembourg’s leadership in systemic foresight and sustainable governance.

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

4. Framework Integration, ensuring systematic inclusion of NWG–Luxembourg 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 Luxembourg and the broader European and global sustainability leadership platforms demand sovereign, anticipatory, and digitally sovereign infrastructures.
NWG–Luxembourg 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 Luxembourg.

Respectfully submitted,
