GCRI · Climat et aléas

Mandat et éditeur

Climate and Hazards is a specialist platform of The Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI), at its canonical address. Its mandate is hazard science: physical climate risks, weather extremes, geohazards and the ways hazards interact, grounded in observed and modelled evidence. This page sets out who publishes it, why it exists as a separate platform, what it never does and where it stands.

02Mandat

Hazard science, with uncertainty in plain view.

The platform’s thesis is physical climate risks, weather extremes and hazard interactions grounded in observed and modelled evidence.

Observer

What has happened

Trends and extremes in the observational record, and the reference periods used to measure them.

Modèle

What could happen

Hazard models and climate scenarios, read with their assumptions and ensemble spread.

Expliquer

Ce que cela signifie

Regional risk explainers and statements of what scenarios cannot tell a user.

03Éditeur

Qui est responsable.

GCRI publishes Climate and Hazards and answers for what appears on it. GCRI Canada is the lead contracting organisation. GCRI is a research, development and policy institution; its findings carry their methods and uncertainty.

The platform exists separately because hazard science has its own community, methods and standards of evidence, and because it needs to stay distinct from disaster coordination. Climate and Hazards is an established platform. Its pages set out its scope and how it is designed to work, and its activities, records and outputs are published here as each one opens. Information and enquiries are open today.

04Limites

What Climate and Hazards does not do.

  • It does not issue forecasts, warnings or alerts, and it does not replace national meteorological, hydrological or geological services.
  • It does not coordinate emergency response or direct evacuations.
  • It does not regulate, certify, license or approve any model, product, site or design.
  • Its scenarios are not predictions, and its outputs are not engineering design values unless a competent authority adopts them.
  • Taking part confers no appointment or authority, and sponsorship confers no editorial control.

In an emergency, follow the instructions of your national or local authorities.

06Questions

Questions et réponses.

Is Climate and Hazards a separate organisation?
No. It is a specialist platform of The Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI), which publishes it.
Can I use the platform’s material for engineering design?
Not directly. Design values come from codes, standards and authorities. Published evidence states its methods and limits so that qualified professionals can judge whether and how to use it.
