11:50 - 12:10

Decisions weaken when information standards diverge across partners and categories

  • Examining how decisions depend on information flowing across actors with different standards.
  • Highlighting where inconsistent data rules and identifiers undermine coherence.
  • Harmonising information standards and accountability links into one shared reference frame.

12:30 - 13:00

PANEL

  • Bringing escalation discipline and early-warning gaps into debate.

 15:30-16:00
