Category: Eywa Explains Abstract / Executive Summary National carbon registries are becoming essential components of the digital infrastructure used to administer carbon markets, track mitigation outcomes and support international climate cooperation. Yet a functioning registry does not automatically guarantee credible carbon credits. Trust depends on the quality of the underlying evidence, the rules governing transactions […]
Category: Ideas & Perspectives Abstract / Executive Summary The growing availability of data has created opportunities for better decision-making, more efficient public services and improved environmental management. However, the volume of data collected by an organisation does not necessarily translate into better outcomes. Data that are inaccurate, incomplete, inconsistent, outdated or poorly documented can undermine […]
Category: Eywa Explains Abstract / Executive Summary Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation, and the role of conservation, sustainable management of forests and enhancement of forest carbon stocks in developing countries (REDD+), connects forest monitoring with climate mitigation and results-based finance. Its credibility depends on a transparent chain of evidence: observing forest change, estimating […]
Category: What’s Happening Abstract Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) is increasingly recognised as a foundation for digital government, economic participation and the delivery of public services. Rather than treating each digital service as an independent technology project, DPI emphasises shared, interoperable systems that can support multiple organisations and applications. This article examines why DPI matters, how […]
Category: Eywa Explains Abstract / Executive Summary Information architecture (IA) is the discipline concerned with how information is organised, labelled, connected, navigated and retrieved within digital environments. Although often associated with website menus and sitemaps, IA encompasses a broader system of structures and relationships that enables people to find information, understand where they are, and […]
Category: Ideas & Perspectives Abstract / Executive Summary As artificial intelligence (AI) moves from isolated analytical tools into operational workflows, the central governance question is no longer simply whether an AI system is accurate. It is whether people can understand, supervise, challenge and, when necessary, override AI outputs at the points where those outputs can […]
Category: What’s Happening Abstract / Executive Summary Biodiversity underpins food systems, freshwater security, climate resilience, public health, and economic productivity. Yet the world continues to lose species and ecosystems at an unprecedented rate while investment in conservation and restoration remains substantially below what is required. The adoption of the Kunming–Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KMGBF) in […]
Category: Ideas & Perspectives Abstract / Executive Summary As organisations increasingly rely on digital information, preserving knowledge over decades has become a strategic challenge rather than a purely technical one. While substantial investment has been made in data collection and digital transformation, many institutions continue to lose valuable organisational knowledge through staff turnover, changing technologies, […]
Category: What’s Happening Abstract / Executive Summary In the digital economy, organisations increasingly depend on data to support scientific research, public administration, financial oversight, environmental monitoring, and artificial intelligence (AI). Yet data only becomes valuable when it can be trusted. Verifiable data is information whose origin, integrity, authenticity, and history can be independently confirmed through […]
Category: Ideas & Perspectives Abstract / Executive Summary For more than two decades, digital transformation has often been equated with digitisation: converting paper records into digital formats, moving services online, and automating administrative processes. While these initiatives improve operational efficiency, growing evidence from governments, international institutions, and digital governance research suggests that digitisation alone does […]
