I participated yesterday in an expert workshop on Public-Private Partnerships in Global Data Governance, organized by the United Nations University Centre for Policy Research (UNU-CPR) and the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC).
I was also invited to prepare a policy brief that presented how the Public Data Commons model, which we have been advocating for, could be applied at global level for dealing with emergencies, and the broader poly-crisis.
It is exciting to see UNU explore data sharing policies within the context of the policy debate on the UN Global Digital Compact.
Worth noting is also the recent report of the High-Level Advisory Board on Effective Multilateralism, "A Breakthrough for People and Planet". One of the transofrmative shifts, "the just digital transition", includes a recommendation for a global data impact hub.
In my brief, I show how this impact hub could be designed as a Public Data Commons. I also highly recommend other briefs presented at the event, by Alex Novikau, Isabel Rocha de Siqueira, Michael Stampfer and Stefaan Verhulst.
