Moldova

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

Moldova today faces profound and interconnected systemic risks:
Climate-induced droughts and floods, agricultural vulnerabilities, food and water insecurity, energy transition and security needs, rural-urban development disparities, and emerging digital infrastructure challenges.
These vulnerabilities align closely with the foresight challenges outlined in the Pact for the Future, requiring sovereign, anticipatory, and innovation-centered resilience strategies.

While Moldova continues to advance national frameworks for disaster risk reduction, rural development, energy resilience, and digital modernization, critical opportunities exist to further strengthen systemic foresight infrastructures, anticipatory governance platforms, and sovereign digital public goods ecosystems.

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

• Embedding systemic foresight, disaster risk governance, and anticipatory policy innovation into national, regional, and community resilience frameworks;

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

• Mobilizing distributed expertise across ministries, rural and agricultural organizations, scientific institutions, innovation hubs, and diaspora communities;

• Institutionalizing long-term sustainability and systemic foresight frameworks aligned with the Declaration on Future Generations.

NWG–Moldova’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 mapping, and resilience 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 Moldova’s leadership in systemic foresight and sustainable governance.

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

Accordingly, we respectfully request:

1. Formal Recognition of NWG–Moldova 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–Moldova’s full integration into multilateral resilience financing frameworks, anticipatory governance hubs, and sovereign digital public goods programs;

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

4. Framework Integration, ensuring systematic inclusion of NWG–Moldova 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 Moldova and the broader Eastern European region demand sovereign, anticipatory, and digitally sovereign infrastructures.
NWG–Moldova 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 goals 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 Moldova.

Respectfully submitted,
