05Scope

United States systems, institutions and interfaces.

The North America programme region records a planned United States hub, a coordination role rather than an office, with this focus. GCRI US work within GCRI's mandate is concerned with the same systems.

Interfaces

Public institutions

Federal, state, Tribal and territorial interfaces, each engaged under its own authority and instruments.

Systems

Lifelines

Power, digital infrastructure, hazard resilience and supply chains, including cross-border dependencies with Canada and Mexico.

Research

Evidence and methods

Research, development and policy research that follows the same evidence labels and review rules as the rest of GCRI.

See North America region for the regional programme, which is recorded as in formation.

06Governance

Its own governance, cooperating in writing.

GCRI US takes its own decisions under its own governance. Where GCRI Canada provides shared services to it, such as contracting frameworks, platform operations, privacy, security or Secretariat services, those services are delivered under written agreements. Canada and U.S. cooperation sets out the roles and decision boundaries, and Board and governance explains how each organization is governed.
