The short answer.
The fields across the Consortium are the shared subjects, such as water, energy, health, financial stability and governance, in which platforms at two or more institutions work. Each field has one GCRI gateway that links its science platforms at GCRI, governance platforms at GRF and finance platforms at GRA, with the methods they share.
Systemic exposure in the Black Sea region.
Where people and networks concentrate, the exposure through which shocks travel between systems, shown for the Black Sea region as an example geography for this subject.

One field, three mandates, one reference page.
Systemic risk is defined by coupling: a drought that cuts hydropower, raises food prices and strains public budgets is one event seen from several fields. A gateway exists for each field that at least two platforms work on, so that the science at GCRI, the governance dialogue at GRF and the financial understanding at GRA can be found from one place and read against the same frameworks.
Each gateway sets out the systemic question in that field, the frameworks competent bodies have adopted, and the couplings to other fields. The method pages behind them sit in the STEM Commons.
Where to start if your question crosses fields.
| If your question starts in | Read next | Because |
|---|---|---|
| Climate and hazards | Water, Food, Insurance | Hazard change propagates first through water and crops, then through insured and uninsured loss |
| Critical infrastructure | Energy, Cyber, Cities | Interdependent networks fail together through power, control systems and urban density |
| Health and biosecurity | Food, Nature, Society | Zoonotic spillover, nutrition and social protection set the size of an outbreak's consequences |
| Artificial intelligence | Compute, Work, Information | Model capability depends on compute and data, and its effects land on labour and public trust |
| Financial stability | Sovereign finance, Markets, Disaster | Physical shocks reach balance sheets through insurance, credit and public debt |
Terms used on this page.
Each term as this page uses it. Where a standard-setting body defines the term, the wording follows that body.
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| 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. |
| Science-policy interface | The arrangements through which scientific evidence reaches public decisions, including advisory committees, chief scientific advisers, academies and intergovernmental assessments. |
