Tajikistan

Excellencies,

We, the undersigned institutions, experts, and stakeholders dedicated to systemic resilience, responsible innovation, and sustainable governance transformation, respectfully submit this appeal for the formal recognition and institutional support of the National Working Group for Tajikistan (NWG-Tajikistan) and the Nexus Ecosystem (NE), developed by the Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI).

Tajikistan today faces deeply interconnected systemic risks:
Glacial retreat impacting water security, seismic vulnerabilities, climate-induced floods and droughts, agricultural fragility, and energy resilience challenges.
These risks are consistent with the systemic threats outlined in the Pact for the Future, demanding anticipatory, foresight-driven, and innovation-centered governance systems.

While Tajikistan has prioritized water and energy resilience in national development strategies, critical gaps remain in fully integrated disaster foresight capacities, anticipatory governance frameworks, and sovereign digital infrastructures.

The National Working Group for Tajikistan (NWG-Tajikistan) addresses these strategic needs by:

• Embedding systemic foresight, disaster risk reduction frameworks, and anticipatory governance into national and subnational systems;

• Strengthening early warning capacities, risk scenario simulations, and adaptive policy innovation aligned with the operational protocols of the Emergency Platform;

• Mobilizing distributed expertise across government agencies, research institutions, rural development actors, diaspora communities, and innovation networks;

• Institutionalizing future generations’ resilience stewardship frameworks consistent with the Declaration on Future Generations.

NWG-Tajikistan’s operational foundation is the Nexus Ecosystem (NE) — a sovereign, interoperable, open-access digital public goods platform that:

• Provides real-time disaster risk modeling, policy simulation capacities, innovation ecosystem mapping, and adaptive governance monitoring tools;

• Embeds responsible digital governance, data sovereignty, cybersecurity resilience, and AI ethics aligned with the Global Digital Compact;

• Supports the advancement of resilience, well-being, and sustainability metrics aligned with the Beyond GDP Initiative, shaping a future-ready national development trajectory.

Together, NWG-Tajikistan and NE offer Tajikistan a sovereign, inclusive, and scalable infrastructure to operationalize systemic resilience, responsible innovation ecosystems, and sustainable governance frameworks.

Accordingly, we respectfully request:

1. Formal Recognition of NWG-Tajikistan as a national platform advancing systemic disaster risk foresight, anticipatory policy innovation, sovereign digital governance, and future generations safeguarding under the Pact for the Future;

2. Institutional and Financial Support, enabling NWG-Tajikistan’s expansion through multilateral resilience financing, anticipatory governance initiatives, and sovereign digital infrastructure programs;

3. Recognition of the Nexus Ecosystem (NE) as a sovereign digital public good critical for Tajikistan’s disaster risk intelligence, policy simulation, innovation system resilience, and sustainability monitoring systems;

4. Framework Integration, ensuring systematic inclusion of NWG-Tajikistan and NE outputs into global disaster risk dashboards, early warning platforms, policy innovation hubs, and Pact for the Future monitoring architectures.

The systemic risks confronting Tajikistan demand anticipatory, inclusive, and digitally sovereign resilience infrastructures.
NWG-Tajikistan and the Nexus Ecosystem provide a tangible, scalable, and future-ready pathway for systemic foresight, innovation-led governance, and sustainable development for present and future generations.

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 resilience, responsible innovation, and inclusive governance transformation for Tajikistan’s future.

Respectfully submitted,
