03Scope

What a status means, and what it does not.

Belongs to

GCRI only

A status attaches to GCRI. It is never extended to GRF, GRA, a consortium, a host, a member or a project.

Confers

No authority

Participation in an international body gives GCRI no regulatory, sovereign or fiduciary authority, and no privileged access.

Implies

No endorsement

The bodies named have not endorsed Consortium programmes, findings or products by granting a status.

05Use

Rules for anyone citing these statuses.

  • Quote the status in the exact wording above, with the full name of the body.
  • Do not use the logo or name of a body named here to suggest partnership, sponsorship or approval.
  • Do not attribute a GCRI status to another institution or to a Consortium programme.
  • Where a date is not recorded, do not supply one.
06Relationships

Statuses are not partnerships.

A status is GCRI’s standing in a body. A collaboration with a named institution is a different thing, shown only with a current permission record on Institutional relationships. The status of The Global Risks Forum (GRF) is described on its own institutional status page.

07Questions

Questions and answers.

Does ECOSOC status make GCRI part of the United Nations?
No. Special consultative status allows a non-governmental organisation to take part in the Council’s work as provided by its rules. It does not make GCRI a UN body or give it UN authority.
Do these statuses apply to GRF or GRA?
No. They belong to GCRI only.
How can I verify a status?
The issuing body’s own record is authoritative. If you find a discrepancy, write to the integrity address below and it will be reviewed.
How do I report misuse of a status?
Write to the integrity concern form with where the status was used and how.
