Global Risks Forum

What We Do

RESEARCH + INNOVATION + POLICY

 “Building resilience by uniting leaders to tackle the pressing global risks that threaten social, economic and governance stability worldwide. Through innovation and strategic collaboration, we address the interconnected global risks, from economic instability and cybersecurity threats to climate change and geopolitical tensions”

Water

Hydrological Resilience

Water is vanishing before our eyes—rivers are drying up, aquifers are depleting, and erratic weather patterns are leaving communities desperate for clean water. The NE meets this challenge with real-time monitoring and predictive analytics, tracking water usage and forecasting floods or droughts with pinpoint accuracy

Energy

Decentralized Stability

Energy grids are crumbling worldwide—blackouts plunge cities into darkness, industries grind to a halt, and aging systems strain under climate pressures and demand. The instability is disrupting lives today. The NE counters with advanced analytics and decision support tools, optimizing renewable energy and stabilizing power grids

Food

Agro-Supply Integrity

Food systems are breaking down—climate shocks devastate crops, supply chains falter, and hunger spreads rapidly across the globe. This collapse isn’t coming; it’s here, threatening millions. The NE responds with early warning tools and observatory networks, providing critical foresight to secure food supplies

Health

Systems Fortification

Health systems are buckling under pressure—surging diseases, overwhelmed hospitals, and a lack of preparedness leave humanity dangerously vulnerable. This isn’t a hypothetical scenario; it’s the reality we face now. The NE fights back with real-time alerts and global risk tracking, halting crises before they escalate

Climate

Decarbonization Pathways

Climate chaos is upon us—storms shatter communities, heatwaves sear the earth, and rising seas destabilize ecosystems at an accelerating pace. This isn’t a warning for tomorrow; it’s an emergency today. The NE confronts it with simulation models and proactive strategies, delivering actionable insights to stabilize the planet

Ecosystem

Strategic Risk Resilience

Ecosystems are in freefall—forests are vanishing, biodiversity is plummeting, and nature’s delicate balance is unraveling under human strain. This collapse isn’t a future concern; it’s undermining life right now. The NE steps in with Earth observation data and high-performance tools, monitoring habitats and driving precise restoration efforts

Think You Know The Risks?

Think Deeper

We dare to envision a world where risks are not just managed but transformed—where every challenge becomes a springboard for resilience, every threat a catalyst for innovation. We believe that humanity’s greatest strength lies in its ability to adapt, innovate, and unite. With the food, water, energy, and health nexus at the heart of our mission, we forge bold solutions to global challenges, driven by cutting-edge technology, deep collaboration, and unwavering commitment to equity and sustainability. Together, we drive anticipatory action plans to address complex risks; redesign systems, empowering communities, and creating pathways to a future where no one is left behind
