The short answer.
GCRI's institutional statuses are the accreditations and memberships it holds, published in their exact recorded wording on the owner's confirmation. They belong to GCRI alone: they do not extend to GRF, GRA, national consortiums or participants, and they are not endorsements of Nexus programmes by the bodies that issued them.

What a status means, and what it does not.
GCRI only
A status attaches to GCRI. It is never extended to GRF, GRA, a consortium, a host, a member or a project.
No authority
Participation in an international body gives GCRI no regulatory, sovereign or fiduciary authority, and no privileged access.
No endorsement
The bodies named have not endorsed Nexus programmes, findings or products by granting a status.
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 Nexus programme.
- Where a date is not recorded, do not supply one.
Terms used on this page.
Each term as this page uses it. Where a standard-setting body defines the term, the wording follows that body.
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Affiliation | A recorded relationship, such as accreditation, membership or observer status, between an organization and another body; listing it implies no endorsement unless the other body says so. |
| Consultative status | A standing granted by the UN Economic and Social Council to a non-governmental organization under Council resolution 1996/31, allowing it to take part in the Council's work; it confers no endorsement of the organization's activities. |
| Public accountability | The obligation of an institution to explain and justify its conduct to the public and to bodies that can question it, and to face consequences, as the OECD frames accountability in governance. |
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.
