The Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI)
Where biodiversity and nature, climate and hazards and oceans and coasts are studied as science at GCRI, governed at GRF and understood financially at GRA, with links to each counterpart platform.
Risk fieldWhere systemic stress concentrates across the areas GCRI works in. Illustrative levels, not findings.
Biodiversity Nexus counterparts are the platforms at GRF and GRA that work on the same fields under other mandates, among them Diplomacy Nexus and Climate and Nature Governance at GRF as well as Insurance Nexus and Banking Nexus at GRA. GCRI studies a field as science, GRF governs it and GRA builds shared financial understanding of it, so each counterpart shows another side of biodiversity and nature.
Fig.How GCRI, GRF and GRA share one field while the authorities decide. Design, not a record.
Nature governance, including the Global Biodiversity Framework, is a governance question at GRF on Climate and Nature Governance. Nature-related financial risk and disclosure, under frameworks such as TNFD, sit with GRA. Biodiversity Nexus supplies the ecological evidence and its limits.
Each term as this page uses it. Where a standard-setting body defines the term, the wording follows that body.
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Counterpart platform | A platform at another Consortium institution that works in a shared field under a different mandate: science at GCRI, governance at GRF or financial understanding at GRA. |
| Field gateway | A GCRI page for one field that links the platforms studying it as science, governing it and building financial understanding of it, with the methods they share. |
| Science-policy interface | The arrangements through which scientific evidence reaches public decisions, including advisory committees, chief scientific advisers, academies and intergovernmental assessments. |
