Our proposed Coastal & Ocean Resilience Data Collaborative (CORD) will enhance resilience in South and Southeast Asia by tackling the ocean–climate nexus through data sharing, disaster risk reduction, climate adaptation, and blue financing.
CORD will build an open digital public infrastructure that integrates fragmented datasets from agencies, regional bodies, and communities, enabling evidence-based planning and decisions.
The platform will consolidate and standardise ocean, weather, socio-economic, infrastructure, finance, and citizen-reported data in an interoperable, user-friendly way, offering real-time insights on hazards, vulnerabilities, and exposure with a feedback loop.
Co-created with fishing communities, seafarers, civil society, academia, and governments, it ensures inclusion of marginalised groups. Using responsible AI and analytics, it will deliver actionable insights, guide planning, safeguard health, and strengthen resilience.
