Component 1: Climate Risk Intelligence & Gap Synthesis AI to accelerate National Risk Register. • Gap analysis of hazard, exposure, vulnerability & ecosystem data. • Targeted collection; AI digitization of historical records; synthetic data for gaps. Component 2: High-Resolution Baseline Evidence base for site-specific adaptation. • Unified high-res DEM via AI LiDAR classification. • Downscale climate models; standardise asset & natural capital audits. Component 3: National Data Governance Sustainable government data infrastructure. • Centralised geospatial/natural capital repository; inter-agency sharing protocols. Component 4: Capacity & Climate Finance Translate data into investments. • GIS/natural accounting training; define ministry data ownership roles. Component 5: Provincial & Community Application Link platform to on-ground adaptation. • Provincial risk dashboards; sectoral local adaptation use-cases.

Expected impact
Economic & development benefits
- Infrastructure: High-res LiDAR/flood models design flood-resilient bridges & roads, cutting repair costs
- Agriculture: Soil/water data guides farmers to climate-suited crop varieties
- Coastal Ecosystems: Mangrove/reef audits prioritise restoration for natural storm protection
- Finance: Natural capital accounts enable Blue Bonds or GCF funding for large-scale EbA projects
Climate & resilience benefits
- Reduced Uncertainty: Climate risk assessments shift from qualitative to quantitative
- Institutional Efficiency: Inter-agency data access drops from months to days
- Informed Investments: SIG prioritises infrastructure and nature-based solutions using standardised asset data and localised disaster risk
- Natural Capital Readiness: Solomon Islands becomes investment-ready for blue/green carbon financing via verified high-resolution natural asset baselines
