Island states lead a sovereign data blueprint for climate adaptation
Why the next decade of climate work will be measured in harbours, not data centres.

A working group of small island governments is finalising the first sovereign data framework for climate adaptation — sensor networks, tidal models and response plans that stay under public ownership even when the compute is leased. The blueprint moved from draft to pilot inside twelve months, and the summit's Impact track will host its first public read-through.
