The Global Risks Alliance (GRA) is a multistakeholder consortium designed to tackle systemic threats—ranging from catastrophic climate events to cross-border financial instabilities—through open-source innovation and shared digital infrastructures. Built on high-performance computing (HPC), machine learning, geospatial analytics, and finance frameworks, GRA enables governments, corporations, research institutions, and civil society to collaboratively engineer and maintain solutions that anticipate, mitigate, and finance responses to emergent crises.
By emphasizing open-source licensing and a peer-driven governance model, GRA aims to aggregate cutting-edge expertise—climate science, advanced AI/ML modeling, HPC resource provisioning, quantum-ready simulations—into a trusted public good. This ensures that both well-resourced and under-resourced stakeholders can deploy robust solutions effectively, particularly in scenarios where timing and scale can mean the difference between resilience and collapse.
GRA’s membership spans the quintuple helix:
Confronting climate extremes, pandemics, or large-scale cyber vulnerabilities requires cross-pollination of data, expertise, and practical deployment capabilities. Absent this synergy, partial solutions can fail under real-world pressure—especially in uncertain, compounding scenarios (e.g., a climate-triggered food crisis amid financial turmoil).
Traditional proprietary platforms often impose restrictions, limiting code transparency, data interchange, or integration with domain-specific models. By contrast, GRA’s open-source ethos enables:
This community-driven collaboration model accelerates R&D cycles and fosters an environment where domain expertise from meteorology, epidemiology, quantum computing, finance, and beyond can coalesce for maximal impact.
Although GRA’s core solutions are openly licensed, members gain critical advantages in shaping, deploying, and scaling these tools:
Thus, membership places institutions at the epicenter of co-creation and agile deployment, ensuring that open innovation also yields strategic leadership and direct returns on involvement.
Given the escalating volatility of modern crises, GRA’s operational framework is designed for rapid response:
The GRA structure ensures that urgent HPC tasks—like verifying meteorological data for a parametric drought bond or scaling a predictive analytics service—can happen in hours rather than weeks.
GRA targets risk-critical domains that require advanced modeling, real-time analytics, or sophisticated financial tools:
These high-impact tracks align with rapidly evolving risk landscapes, where advanced modeling and financial readiness are mission-critical.
Members can integrate deeply by:
Through these channels, technical experts, data custodians, and strategic decision-makers shape the codebase, resulting in best-fit applications for on-the-ground realities.
Preserving robustness, transparency, and trust is central to GRA’s governance:
These mechanisms safeguard the high-stakes nature of HPC tasks in an era where code vulnerabilities can directly translate to human or financial loss.
GRA’s model facilitates fast replication and expansion:
The NE approach ensures timely diffusion of HPC-based forecasting or parametric coverage expansions to any location confronting urgent hazards.
In light of escalating climate shocks, financial turbulence, and emerging health threats, GRA offers a streamlined onboarding process:

Create a blockchain-based solution that enhances the traceability and transparency of critical supply chains, ensuring continuity and integrity in times of crisis. The platform should conform to global supply chain standards and frameworks, such as GS1 standards for product identification and ISO 28000 for supply chain security.
Disruptions in supply chains during emergencies can lead to severe economic and humanitarian consequences. A blockchain-powered approach can provide real-time visibility into supply chain transactions, improve accountability, and facilitate rapid response. By integrating globally recognized standards, such as GS1’s EPCIS (Electronic Product Code Information Services) and ISO 22095 chain-of-custody requirements, this solution ensures a secure, interoperable environment. Trusted oracles and industry-grade blockchain networks (e.g., Hyperledger, Ethereum) will provide the foundational infrastructure.
This bounty focuses on developing a blockchain-based platform that delivers secure, verifiable, and standards-compliant supply chain transparency. By following international frameworks and providing a clear audit trail of transactions, the solution will improve resilience, reduce waste, and help ensure the timely delivery of critical goods during disruptions. Comprehensive implementation documentation and open-source smart contract libraries will make the system accessible and scalable.
Target Outcomes:
A stable data pipeline underpins advanced analytics, from multi-regional flood forecasting to parametric pay-out triggers. This Quest calls for systematically auditing a pipeline segment, focusing on naming integrity, duplication, or undocumented fields. Contributors also produce disclaimers for data sets that might be restricted, incomplete, or subject to local privacy laws.
Design and implement a blockchain-enabled payout system using parametric insurance models and automated smart contracts. This system will streamline disaster relief payouts by adhering to international regulatory frameworks, integrating trusted oracles for real-time data verification, and providing a transparent ledger for all transactions.
Traditional disaster relief funding often suffers from inefficiencies, lack of transparency, and prolonged distribution times. A blockchain-based parametric model—where payouts are triggered by specific, pre-defined criteria (e.g., rainfall thresholds)—can resolve these challenges. This solution will be built on well-established blockchain platforms, such as Ethereum or Hyperledger Fabric, and use smart contract standards like the ERC-20 or ERC-721 for payout tokens. Integration with trusted data oracles (e.g., Chainlink or Provable) ensures that triggers are based on verified, tamper-proof information. This approach will also consider international frameworks for financial inclusion and disaster risk financing, such as those recommended by the World Bank and the Insurance Development Forum (IDF).
The proposed system will include a suite of blockchain-based smart contracts that automate relief fund distribution upon the occurrence of a verified event. Compliance with international financial reporting standards (e.g., IFRS 17 for insurance contracts) and best practices for blockchain security (e.g., OWASP Blockchain Security Framework) will be integral. This ensures that payouts are not only prompt but also fully auditable and secure. The open-source implementation will include smart contract templates, deployment scripts, and a detailed integration guide for humanitarian organizations and insurers

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers).
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs. There may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
