The Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI Canada) holds the Secretariat of the Nexus Consortium. Choose the route for your matter: each opens its own form, gives you a reference and says how long an answer takes.
Every request receives a reference
The Secretariat sits with GCRI Canada, the Consortium’s lead contracting organisation. It receives programme enquiries, cooperation requests and concerns through the enquiry form, gives each a reference and routes it to the team that can act.
Each route says who it is for, what happens, how long an answer takes and the first outcome, and opens its own form. Programme enquiries stay with the Secretariat and the regional desks.
The Consortium Secretariat gives a programme or cooperation enquiry a reference and routes it, to a regional desk where one applies.
Propose a research collaboration or an independent review: the question, the methods and the people involved.
Institutional cooperation, and technology or infrastructure offers. No offer creates a commitment.
Assignments, review roles and supervised contribution. No role exists until it is offered in writing.
A correction is a new version with its history, never a silent edit.
Concerns are reviewed by someone not involved in the work.
Concerns are handled on a restricted route. In danger, contact local emergency services first.
Leave exploit details and personal data out of a first message.
For the Interim Privacy Officer of GCRI Canada: a copy, a correction or erasure of your data.
Figures are quoted with their evidence label and limits.
GCRI US is a separate United States institution. Name it in your enquiry and the Secretariat routes it.
Each form opens on its own page. When you send it you get a reference, and you follow the answer on this site, not by email. A request creates no membership, role or commitment.
How each concern is reviewed is set out on Trust and integrity.
Four stages, each held by a named team, each leaving a record. The reference is on screen when you send the form, and each form states its time to answer.
An acknowledgement with a reference.
The name of the team that holds your enquiry and the next step.
An answer, a conversation, or a referral to the institution that can act.
A closing note. A correction becomes a new version with its history.
Write to a desk about a national programme or a system your region shares: a basin, a grid, a corridor. A desk is a route through the enquiry form, not an office.
| Region | Focus | Route |
|---|---|---|
| Africa | Shared basins, power pools and corridors | Write to the Africa desk |
| Asia and the Pacific | Monsoon basins, manufacturing networks and island states | Write to the Asia and the Pacific desk |
| Europe and Eurasia | Interconnected grids, energy transition and corridors | Write to the Europe and Eurasia desk |
| Latin America and the Caribbean | Amazon and Andean systems, hurricane-exposed islands, food corridors | Write to the Latin America and the Caribbean desk |
| Middle East and North Africa | Water scarcity, energy transition and strategic corridors | Write to the Middle East and North Africa desk |
| North America | Integrated grids, continental supply chains and the Secretariat seat | Write to the North America desk |

Two organisations, each with its own legal identity. Name GCRI US in your enquiry about its work; the Secretariat routes everything else.
Lead Institution of the Nexus Consortium, its Secretariat and its lead contracting organisation. It runs the regional desks and handles agreements, privacy requests and security reports for therisk.global.
A separate United States institution with its own legal identity and responsibilities. Enquiries about work within its own scope go through the enquiry form; it does not contract for the Consortium.

Policy, councils and Universe enquiries belong to The Global Risks Forum (GRF); Universe has its own website. Finance readiness and membership of the business league belong to The Global Risks Alliance (GRA). Both are independent consortium stewards and answer for their own sites.
Four facts route an enquiry in one step. The form asks for them; your reference and the status page show the next step.
Your name, your institution and role, and whether you write on its behalf.
The country or region, and the question or concern in a few sentences.
A conversation, a document, a correction or a referral.
Restricted data, passwords or sensitive personal information about others.
What you send is used to answer your enquiry and to keep a record of it, under the privacy notice of therisk.global. GCRI Canada is the controller for this site; GRF and GRA have their own notices and controllers. Use the privacy request form about your personal data; the privacy contact is privacy@therisk.global.
This site is designed to meet WCAG 2.2 level AA. We test pages and fix barriers we find. Report a barrier through the enquiry form.
Every route on this page opens its own form page. Each form gives a reference, says how long an answer takes and lets you follow the answer on the status page.
An enquiry does not create membership, an appointment or a service contract.
Reports is the Consortium’s quarterly publication. What you know about this subject can become evidence, a case or a correction in the next edition, credited to you and published under CC BY 4.0 where it is your own work.
Never send personal data, sensitive infrastructure detail or anything you have no right to share. A contribution is reviewed before use; sending it confers no authorship or editorial rights, and sponsorship never buys a finding.
The Secretariat confirms the route and the conditions for any next step. An enquiry creates no membership, appointment or contract.
