Building a Bridge for Resilience: From the Sahel to Small Island Developing States (SIDS)

Dear colleagues of the Green Forum and the ISLANDS community,

As a new member joining from UNDP Niger, I am struck by the shared vulnerabilities that connect the landlocked Sahel with the world's Small Island Developing States. Both our regions are on the frontlines of the climate crisis, facing critical infrastructure gaps and a persistent "last-mile" digital divide.

In the Sahel, we are pioneering an "Offline-First AI" framework to deliver predictive climate analytics and DRR protocols without internet. This frugal innovation ensures that even the most remote communities can have access to life-saving data.

I believe this model is highly transferable to the unique context of SIDS, where connectivity can be a major challenge, especially on outer islands during extreme weather events.

I am here to share our open-source blueprint and to learn from your unique expertise in island resilience. How are you tackling the challenge of data-driven decision-making in low-connectivity island environments?
