Open Data & Climate Intelligence for Scalable & Regenerative Finance

​This high-level event will convene leaders from across sectors to explore how climate data sovereignty, bioregional diplomacy, and digital cooperation can unlock scalable climate finance in emerging markets. The dialogue will highlight Mongolia’s leadership in developing a regional climate data infrastructure network, while drawing lessons and inspiration from Bhutan’s ecological governance model and wellbeing-centered economy.

​

​Session Structure

​

• ​Part I – GloCha & Orda: Framing climate data as digital public infrastructure, highlighting how trusted, interoperable systems can strengthen transparency, accountability, and financing across borders.

• ​Part II – Bioregional Embassy with Bhutan, Regen Foundation, Open Civics & more: A design sprint exploring bioregional diplomacy as a framework for climate cooperation. Includes exploration of digital public infrastructure, coordination mechanisms, gamification and portfolio building for large scale financing. 

• ​Part III – Networking Reception: Cocktails and light bites with all partners to deepen connections and spark collaborations.

​

​Context

​Climate-relevant data in emerging economies is often fragmented, inaccessible, or unverifiable, creating a bottleneck for securing finance, implementing policy, and scaling solutions. Shared ecosystems, trade corridors, and climate risks across Asia and other regions demand coordinated, trusted, and transparent data frameworks.

​Strategic Opportunity

​Mongolia, already recognized for its climate diplomacy and as the upcoming COP17 host, is well-positioned to lead the creation of a Bioregional Climate Data Infrastructure Network. Bhutan, with its governance model centered on wellbeing and ecology, provides a powerful demonstration site. Together, these countries can catalyze a regional initiative linking innovation and financing hubs across Asia and beyond, bundling projects into bankable portfolios for GCF support.
