Governance.

Governance protects the index, not daily price movement.

UNPT governance should focus on the integrity of the CSI: metric weights, data sources, methodology updates, validation rules and protocol upgrades.

See the methodology.Contact the team.

Governance exists because sustainability measurement changes as science, policy and data quality change. UNPT governance should let stakeholders improve the CSI while limiting short-term manipulation risk. The website must show what governance can change, what governance cannot change, how proposals move, and how participants can inspect outcomes.

Governance can refine CSI inputs and methodology.

A calm control-framework diagram with the CSI composite index at the centre inside a transparent green governance ring, four refinable parameters arranged on the ring's axes, and three padlocked restricted actions sitting outside the ring. — The governance ring lets stewards refine metric weights, data sources, methodology and reporting cadence, while direct price override, forced supply change and arbitrary peg control remain locked beyond its reach.
