Nexus Consortiums are built on a public-private-planet partnership: public institutions, private operators and the interests of people and ecosystems that have no seat by default, working on shared risks. The Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI) publishes the doctrine that governs this cooperation, the safeguards against capture by any one interest and the boundaries of authority that no participant can cross. Cooperation is valuable only if no one can buy its conclusions. Return to How Nexus Consortium works.
