Project Summary

Through open government data policies, governments across the globe make data available to the public. Many datasets are directly related to weather and climate, thus holding immense potential in addressing challenging environmental problems, including water management issues that intermittently interrupt the growth of APEC developing economies.

The project goal is to develop a Framework for effectively using Open Environmental Data (OED) to improve an APEC developing economy's decision-making capability in long-term water management, to help establish sustainability and resilience. This project will deliver:
1) a Framework for Utilizing OED in Long-term Precipitation Forecasts resulting from the collaborative science, technology and innovation (STI) from APEC developed economies to APEC developing economies, and
2) a Two-day Workshop that helps promote the Framework and forms a collaborative partnership among APEC developing economies, accelerating the use of open government data to address water management issues and other environmental problems in the region.

Relevance

Issues: Water is one of the core components of the nexus of sustainability development because it directly contributes to food and energy security. Many developing economies have experienced economic interruptions during the recent decades of changing climate due to highly variable rainfall amounts and patterns. Accurate forecasts of changes in rainfall and other environmental factors allow an economy to make better decisions and improve operational efficiencies, strengthening an economy’s capability to mitigate these challenges resiliently. While shorter-term forecasting systems have become more widely available, APEC developing economies still need a more reliable long-term forecasting system to establish accurate water management schemes to mitigate the severe effects of droughts and floods.

Open environmental data or OED, especially climate and atmospheric data, mostly gathered, generated, or issued by governments, becomes more widely available among APEC economies and holds immense potential for practical use in environmental management, including water management. In this project, with the purpose of leveraging the existing OED to the fullest extent, the existing OED from readily available sources, including but not limited to Copernicus Climate Data Store, UCAR Research Data Archive, Mekong Water Resources, and NASA GPM Mission, will be used instead of requesting additional data from APEC member governments. In this regard, bridging the existing OED from the global scale down to the local scale, together with exchanging and transferring technical knowledge in long-term precipitation forecasts within APEC economies, can help establish a Framework that allows effective utilization of the OED, and this will lead to more reliable long-term forecast capability in the region, thus directly benefiting the developing economies in the APEC region. Further, this approach is also expected to not only aid in the development of the works under this project but also to serve to heighten awareness among APEC member economies regarding the significance of utilizing OED.

Although the Framework will benefit both APEC and Non-APEC developing economies, as implementing this project with time limitations, we will initially start from Thailand, which is an APEC developing economy. We will apply the Framework to Thailand’s climatic pattern, as a reference case or guideline for other APEC developing economies or governments. To bring most of the project outputs and outcomes to benefit APEC member economies, this project is not exclusively focused on Asia but has a broader regional scope, aiming to make global scale data applicable at local scales. As aforementioned, the core goal of this project is to leverage OED and create a Framework that is adaptable and neutral, facilitating its application across various economies with different climatic patterns. Therefore, a flexible Framework, incorporating OED from various sources, not limited to Thai data, will be developed, and this strategy is intended to ease the adoption of the Framework by other APEC economies, allowing them to utilize corresponding data for their climatic patterns and address their unique environmental conditions more effectively.

This is essential especially for developing economies who often face a lack of skilled human resources in environmental prediction system development. This project hopes these economies find the Framework a practical guide to developing or improving their own prediction systems, allowing them to effectively navigate their environmental and climatic challenges. In terms of existing of the Framework, to the best of PO’s and his team’s knowledge, there is no such Framework. However, there are numbers of short-term and long-term predictions available. Nevertheless, the long-term prediction systems nowadays have limited precision and tend to focus on developed economies, making them more resilient to climate impacts. Therefore, with the aim of this project on improving long-term prediction systems, the PO and his team, together with suggestions and recommendations from experts in developed economies, have attempted to develop this Framework to guide and support the development of long-term prediction systems to work more precisely by integrating OED. Moreover, the endeavor of this project is also to foster cooperation amongst different economies by illustrating the practical applications, benefits, and best practices of OED through comprehensive case studies. We believe showcasing these aspects will encourage more collaborative and informed approaches to environmental data utilization within the member economies.

Eligibility and Fund Priorities: The direct outputs and expected outcomes of this project are related to two main themes of General Project Account (GPA) funding priorities in APEC 2023 in the scope of “spotlighting approaches to facilitate access to open government data” and “promoting, healthy, resilient, and sustainable economies.” Apart from priorities of the host-theme year, the GPA fund is also suitable for this project since it has supported all projects aligned with APEC Action Plans.

Capacity Building: This collaborative capacity-building project is well aligned with two APEC main goals for capacity building regarding "attaining sustainable growth and equitable development in the Asia-Pacific region" and "deepening the spirit of community in the Asia Pacific." This project is expected to improve APEC developing economies’ decision-making capability in long-term water management and establish sustainability and resilience in changing environment through STI sharing from APEC developed economies to developing economies. To elaborate on the development of decision-making capability, the Framework will be used to help guide each developing economy to develop or build their own long-term prediction systems. Alternatively, they can apply the Framework with available prediction systems and adapt it with their own contexts. We expect that the Framework can be a tool to help enhance capability of their long-term prediction systems to work more precisely and effectively. As mentioned in Project Relevance: Issues, with the aim of this project on improving long-term prediction systems, the PO and his team, together with suggestions and recommendations from experts in developed economies, have attempted to develop this Framework as decision-making assistance for each APEC member economy to help guide and support them to develop the long-term prediction systems to work more precisely to their own climatic contexts by integrating OED.

Objectives

This project aims to improve the capability of APEC developing economies in long-term water management and establish sustainability and resilience through collaborations between APEC developed and developing economies. In this project, a Framework will be developed for effectively using open environmental data to improve decision-making capabilities in APEC developing economies. The knowledge will be transferred to other APEC developing economies through Two-day Workshop.

Beneficiaries and Outputs

Outputs:

1) Framework for Utilizing OED in the Long-term Precipitation Forecasts

The Framework will be in a report form containing 20-30 pages and include contents relating to:

a) Open Data Literature Review: it will consist of literature review and data gathering, or desk research, conducted by the PO and his team, along with acquiring relevant inputs from online meetings with experts. The data shall relate to environment either in open empirical or virtual forms (the example of data sources already aforementioned in the Project Relevance: Issues), particularly observational data, both in-situ and remotely sensed data, as well as model predictions.

b) Framework Results: the Framework will be drafted step by step during the Framework development process by the PO and his team’s research network. The first Framework development process will be conducted after the literature review and data gathering. Then, the PO and his team will organize online meetings with experts from our existing partnership networks in developed economies, such as the USA, and/ or inviting them through PPSTI teams in developed economies, especially experts from the organizations mentioned in the Project Impact: Beneficiaries, to discuss on this draft Framework to gather their suggestions and recommendations which will be used to improve the draft Framework in the second Framework development process. After that, this improved Framework will be circulated to all experts and participants who will be in the Two-day Workshop for their pre-comments and this improved Framework will be taken to further discussion during the Workshop as well. Finally, the latest version of the improved Framework will be taken to the final Framework development process before submitting it to the Secretariat.

c) Framework Use-cases and Results: the use-cases and their results will be shared in the Two-day Workshop by inviting experts from our existing network as well as inviting through PPSTI teams in both developed and developing economies. At least 5 use-cases will be included in this Framework report.

d) Suggestions and Recommendations (from pre- and post- workshop) on the Framework: the PO and his team will circulate the draft Framework to experts and participants before the Two-day Workshop to ask for their pre-comments. Plus, after the Two-day Workshop, the PO and his team will inquire comments from the experts and participants via a post-Workshop survey and use the comments to compose a final version of the Framework before submitting it to the Secretariat. In terms of Recommendations, they will be gathered from Framework development process through the end of the Two-day Workshop via the post-Workshop survey.

Additionally, this Framework is intended to be published as APEC publication and structured with

a) Title Page

b) Table of Contents, Glossary and Acronym List

c) Introduction

Outcomes:

1) Increased awareness of the benefits and importance of open data usage, such as innovative use of open data to enable seasonal rain forecasts for water management, amongst Workshop participants. This is to promote and maximize open data usage in APEC economies that may lead to policy changes. A post-Workshop survey will be conducted.

2) Increased awareness to escalate the number of resources available to APEC economies to maximize the effectiveness and utility, as well as raise awareness on potentials and concerns on the use of open data. This will include the acceptance of the Framework. The participants could be asked if the Framework will be a useful and beneficial resource for their economy as a reference document. This outcome will be measured via a post-Workshop survey, with the purpose of intending to encourage relevant stakeholders to share data more openly among APEC member economies.

3) Increased connections and opportunities for collaborations between APEC economies. This can be assessed by including tailored questions in the post-Workshop survey asking participants whether they considered the Workshop could successfully convene stakeholders and identify opportunities for APEC economies to engage in water management issues in the future.

Risks

No.	Risks	How will it be managed?
1	Different regions may have different climate patterns and variations. Some adjustments may be required for different geographical and climatic regions.	The Framework will be developed in a manner which will allow adoption by multiple APEC economies without singular on one economy in particular. We are attempting to neutralize the Framework to make it more easily applied or adapted by other APEC economies. Plus, PO’s team will ensure that the data gathered for this Framework will be comprehensive and accommodate the various differences.
2	The project implementations are delayed due to unforeseeable factors.	Project management and supervision are strictly executed. The PO and PO’s team will schedule monthly meetings to update any progress and/ or problem to ensure that all works should be completed within the timeline, parallel with updating to the Secretariat when requested.
3	Low number of experts engaged at the research stage for the Framework	The PO and his team will invite experts from their existing partnership networks as well as inviting other experts through PPSTI teams in developed economies to secure the expert engagement and also the quality of the Framework.

Linkages

The Framework developed in this project directly supports the work of the APEC Climate Center (APCC) with the priority to strengthen scientific and technological cooperation across the APEC region to help economies deal effectively with the consequences of current and future climate-related hazards by providing climate information, research, and technical support.

The project also supports capacity building in the region so that APEC member economies can better mitigate, prepare for, respond to, and recover from emergencies and natural disasters, consistent with the priority of the Emergency Preparedness Working Group (EPWG). The Framework developed in this project will also enhance the ability to adapt and mitigate the impacts of climate change on agricultural productivity, consistent with the working scopes of the Agricultural Technical Cooperation Working Group (ATCWG). In accordance with the linkage to EPWG as well as ATCWG, the PO and his team will invite these fora groups through APEC Secretariat staff who are currently supporting these fora in order to ensure that they will engage in the Two-day Workshop. Apart from that, we will encourage the cooperation of different economies by sharing and showing them with case studies, best practices, as well as advantages of open environmental data (OED) and how to use existing OED in efficient and effective ways toward water and environmental management for each APEC member economy’s fullest extent. Further, for non APEC member economies, such as Laos and Cambodia, we will encourage the utilization of the Framework through our own existing partnership networks and also connect with the same types of organizations which aforementioned in the Project Impact: Beneficiaries to ensure that both APEC and non APEC member economies can receive advantages from this Framework, and the PO and his team are open to obtain their suggestions and recommendations to help bring the most out of the Framework.

Sustainability

1) Continuing impact after APEC funding:

The project will continue to have an impact after the completion of APEC funding through the following measures:
The developed Framework for effectively using open environmental data will serve as a valuable resource for improving decision-making capabilities in APEC developing economies, allowing for continued applications and enhancement even after the funding period. Furthermore, the Two-day Workshop will provide opportunities for professionals across APEC economies to further collaborate, exchange knowledge and expertise to address long-term water management challenges. We expect the Outputs and Outcomes that occurred from the project to serve the APEC Putrajaya Vision 2040 in terms of facilitating the flow of data and supporting future work of other APEC working groups such as the EPWG and the ATCWG.

2) Supporting beneficiaries to carry forward results and lessons:

We will provide documentation, resources, and a case study to ensure that beneficiaries can effectively carry forward the project's results and lessons to apply and adapt them to their local contexts. The project team can also offer follow-up support and mentorship to assist the beneficiaries in implementing the Framework and addressing any challenges that may arise.

3) Next steps and tracking future actions:

After the project's completion, possible next steps include expanding the scope of the Framework to address additional environmental challenges, such as air quality, land use, and/or other climate change adaptations. We will use the Framework produced by this project only as a resource of reference or a data source like a manual or recipe to guide build our environmental prediction system which other economies can use it to guide them develop their own environmental prediction systems as well. With regard to this, we acknowledge that all the intellectual property rights for the Framework produced in this project is fully owned by the Secretariat, and all future work PO pursues outside of this project will have to be done with no association or use of the APEC branding and only reference and rightful attribution to the Framework as a data source. Apart from the aforementioned, we will also explore opportunities for regional collaborations and framework adoption to enhance data sharing and model development.

To ensure that these future actions take place, we will actively seek partnerships with international organizations, academic institutions, and governmental bodies that share our objectives. The collaborative partnership from the two-day Workshop will be instrumental in identifying and pursuing these opportunities. In this case, we are not attempting to form a network or group of any kind through this project without asking for specific endorsement by APEC Senior Officials first. This collaborative partnership is only an informal group of people who work in the same area to co-share and exchange information, as well as ideas, toward water and environmental management.
