Estonia - Oman High-Level Dialogue: Building National Climate-Delivery Capability

This high-level Estonia - Oman panel will explore how trusted environmental information and digital public infrastructure can help turn climate and environmental priorities into real-world delivery. Estonia and Oman will bring two national perspectives: Estonia’s experience with secure, interoperable information exchange and Oman’s work to strengthen environmental data capability under Vision 2040. The discussion will focus on how data, institutions and implementation can be connected into effective national climate-delivery capability. The format will include a 30-minute moderated discussion followed by 10 - 15 minutes of audience Q&A.

The Digital Watershed: Scaling Catchment-based Water and Climate Governance

Climate change is intensifying floods, droughts, coastal pressures and water quality challenges, while incomplete data and fragmented governance continue to hinder effective responses. While catchment-based approaches offer a proven way to enhance sustainable water management, they can be further enhanced by digital solutions and effective community engagement. The aim of this session is to explore how we can scale catchment-based water management to a new level, creating impact across communities and national borders. Through moderated expert discussions drawing on global and national experiences, the session will examine how shared data, community participation, coordinated monitoring and cross-border cooperation can turn water and climate strategies into effective action.

Panel Discussion

Civic Movements Muscle: Building Social Resilience in Critical Times

When floods, heatwaves or war strike, the communities that recover best are those with strong social ties. This panel looks at how mass civic movements build that "civic muscle" before a crisis hits. World Cleanup Day began in Estonia in 2008 and now mobilises millions of people in 190+ countries each year. Let's Do It Ukraine turned its cleanup network into a humanitarian lifeline in the first days of the full-scale invasion. Speakers from Let's Do It Ukraine, UN-Habitat and the Estonian Ministry of Foreign Affairs will discuss how citizen networks protect vulnerable groups, sustain livelihoods and support a just transition. They will also discuss how governments, cities and the UN system can recognise civic participation as a core part of climate resilience, and invest in it.
