Monaco

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

Monaco today faces systemic risks interconnected across coastal resilience, biodiversity protection, and sustainable innovation:
Sea-level rise and coastal flooding, climate-driven extreme weather risks, marine biodiversity degradation, urban resilience needs, energy transition imperatives, and emerging digital governance leadership responsibilities.
These systemic vulnerabilities and leadership opportunities align directly with the foresight priorities outlined in the Pact for the Future, necessitating sovereign, anticipatory, and innovation-centered resilience strategies.

While Monaco has demonstrated global leadership in environmental diplomacy, ocean conservation, sustainable development innovation, and climate resilience, further opportunities exist to embed systemic foresight infrastructures, anticipatory governance models, and sovereign digital public goods platforms.

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

• Embedding systemic foresight, disaster risk governance, and anticipatory policy innovation into national, coastal, and international sustainability 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, marine research and sustainability institutions, private sector innovation ecosystems, and civil society;

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

NWG–Monaco’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 sustainability governance monitoring systems;

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

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

Together, NWG–Monaco and the Nexus Ecosystem provide Monaco 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–Monaco 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–Monaco’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 critical for Monaco’s disaster risk intelligence infrastructures, anticipatory policy simulation environments, innovation ecosystem monitoring, and sustainable development governance frameworks;

4. Framework Integration, ensuring systematic inclusion of NWG–Monaco 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 Monaco and the broader Mediterranean and global coastal communities require sovereign, anticipatory, and digitally sovereign infrastructures.
NWG–Monaco and the Nexus Ecosystem offer a transformational, scalable, and future-ready pathway for systemic foresight, responsible innovation ecosystems, and resilient governance futures.

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 Monaco.

Respectfully submitted,
