Yemen Risks Forum 2025
The Global Risks Forum – National Engagement Series: Yemen is an annual, hybrid-format initiative led by NWG Yemen, an independent coalition of national and international experts, humanitarian practitioners, and innovation leaders. Operating autonomously from the Government of Yemen and any political actors, NWG Yemen provides a neutral, evidence-based platform for addressing complex systemic risks through disaster risk reduction (DRR), disaster risk finance (DRF), and disaster risk intelligence (DRI).
Aligned with the global mission of the Global Risks Alliance (GRA) and the Global Risks Forum (GRF), this series engages stakeholders from the quintuple helix—academia, civil society, private sector, international partners, and public institutions (in a stakeholder—not organizing—capacity)—to foster resilient, inclusive, and forward-looking systems of governance.
Strategic Purpose
The Yemen edition is designed to:
- Address the interwoven challenges of armed conflict, food insecurity, climate shocks, and institutional fragility;
- Build capacity for localized resilience through data-driven planning, anticipatory action, and financial innovation;
- Mobilize diaspora expertise, grassroots leadership, and regional solidarity in designing recovery pathways;
- Strengthen integration between humanitarian response and long-term development through systemic approaches.
Sessions focus on co-developing tools and frameworks that support crisis forecasting, infrastructure recovery, and equitable access to essential services in complex emergency contexts.
Technical Foundation: Nexus Ecosystem Integration
The forum is powered by the Nexus Ecosystem, a multi-layered infrastructure integrating AI, quantum computing, geospatial analytics, and blockchain technologies to support anticipatory governance and system-wide collaboration. Key technical capabilities include:
- AI-driven scenario planning and conflict-sensitive risk modelling for health, food systems, displacement, and infrastructure collapse
- Geospatial and Earth Observation tools for tracking desertification, water scarcity, and humanitarian access
- Blockchain-based finance and smart contracts for aid traceability, community trust funds, and crisis-responsive insurance
- IoT-enabled early warning systems for disease outbreaks, natural hazards, and supply chain disruptions
- Federated data governance systems supporting ethical information management, local ownership, and cross-agency coordination
- Digital twin platforms for simulating recovery, reconstruction, and decentralized service delivery
These tools support inclusive, agile, and transparent responses to Yemen’s multi-layered risk environment while laying the foundation for long-term resilience.
Governance and Participation
All activities under NWG Yemen are independently led and governed, fully aligned with the global protocols of GRA and GRF. The forum is not affiliated with, directed by, or accountable to any political or governmental entity, ensuring a nonpartisan, transparent, and ethically grounded space for dialogue and action.
Participation is open to humanitarian organizations, researchers, community leaders, financial innovators, diaspora professionals, and civil society actors who are committed to rebuilding systems of trust, equity, and sustainability.
