Strategy 2026–2030

Strategy 2026–2030 sets the horizon of The Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI) within the Nexus Consortium 2030 Horizon, which GCRI leads. It names the milestones that measure progress, the assumptions behind them and the status of each. It promises no dates. A milestone is reached when its record shows it. Part of About GCRI.

05Assumptions

What each step depends on.

  • Mandate and correct parties for each engagement.
  • People and operating capacity to staff each service before it opens.
  • Data and intellectual property permissions, and funding within stated limits.
  • Security, safety, accessibility and a route for support, correction and exit.
  • Counsel review of the legal instruments each step relies on.
06Review

How the strategy is kept honest.

The institutional annual review reports progress, including milestones missed or withdrawn. Every change to the strategy is recorded with its reason. The Global Risks Forum (GRF) and The Global Risks Alliance (GRA) publish their own, such as the GRA strategy for the same period.

07Questions

Questions and answers.

When will applications open?
When their team, terms and review capacity are in place. No date is promised; the change will be shown on the relevant pages when it happens.
What is the Nexus Consortium 2030 Horizon?
The programme horizon of Nexus Consortiums to 2030. GCRI’s status as its lead organisation is recorded among its statuses.
