The Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI)
Country work of Climate and Hazards, linked to national programmes and the national source register. Country pages show only work that a programme record supports.
Climate and Hazards country applications are the national parts of its work on climate and hazards, each linked to a national programme and the national source register. A country page shows only work that a programme record supports, and the national institutions own the question, the data and the decision.

For country applications, in GCRI's spatial-intelligence reading, the map opens on population density, true-colour imagery and night lights, framed on World; 3 further NASA layers wait in the list.
The interactive map needs JavaScript; the layer list and sources are below.

| Instrument | Usually held by | Evidence it needs |
|---|---|---|
| National climate risk assessment | Environment or climate ministry | Projections, hazard maps, exposure |
| Hazard zoning | Planning authorities | Flood, seismic, wildfire and landslide maps |
| Building code hazard values | Standards bodies | Design wind, snow, seismic and rainfall values |
| Heat action plans | Health and meteorological services | Heat thresholds and forecasts |
Programmes are listed as exploring, forming, constituted, active, paused or archived. Country and regional entries appear when a programme record supports them.
Each term as this page uses it. Where a standard-setting body defines the term, the wording follows that body.
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Country ownership | The principle that a country leads its own development policies and strategies and coordinates the actions that support them, set out in the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness. |
| National portfolio | The set of programmes, projects and evidence a country maintains in the Nexus network, each with its owner, status and records. |
| Country systems | A government's own budget, procurement, financial management and reporting systems, used by donors when they deliver through them. |
| Compound event | Two or more hazards or drivers occurring together or in sequence whose joint impact exceeds what either would cause alone, such as drought followed by intense rain; IPCC assessments use the term. |
The bodies and documents this page is read against. Status and editions change; each link goes to the issuing body.
The current service level is R0: information and enquiries. An enquiry receives a reference and names the next step; applications, payments, compute allocations and registrations open only when their team, terms and review capacity exist.
