The Leaders Council is the foundation of the Global Risks Forum’s mission to become a trusted meeting point for leaders tackling the world’s most urgent and complex challenges.
This group brings together respected voices from government, business, science, and civil society—leaders who help shape the Forum’s priorities and global impact. Members of the Council work directly on designing the Forum’s key programs, shaping international cooperation efforts, and guiding partnerships that address climate risk, economic stability, and public safety.
By drawing on the Council’s combined expertise and leadership, the Forum ensures that every decision, every plan, and every global conversation is grounded in evidence, integrity, and public trust. The Council plays a critical role in turning ideas into real strategies—helping the world become safer, more prepared, and more resilient in the face of growing global risks.
The Leaders Council of the Global Risks Forum (GRF) constitutes the primary strategic and fiduciary body responsible for translating global risk intelligence into actionable, institutionally anchored, and jurisdictionally aligned responses. Established as a high-trust governance nucleus, the Council enables the systematic integration of foresight-driven insights into the Forum’s core activities—ranging from policy alignment and corridor deployment to the advancement of scalable resilience finance instruments.
Functioning at the interface of public institutions, multilateral bodies, research ecosystems, and capital markets, the Leaders Council plays a foundational role in ensuring that predictive analytics, early warning systems, and scenario modeling are converted into enforceable strategies that strengthen systemic preparedness across sovereign and community levels. Through its deliberative structure, the Council facilitates the formation of cross-sector coalitions, guides strategic programming, and oversees the development of risk-informed, legally compliant initiatives.
Pursuant to the institutional charter Charter and its internal governance protocols, active membership in the Leaders Council is a formal precondition for nomination to the GRF Board of Governors. This requirement ensures that all Board nominees have demonstrated a credible record of engagement, policy alignment, and institutional contribution prior to assuming any formal fiduciary or representational responsibilities. Council membership thereby serves not only as a strategic leadership platform but also as the official entry point into the Forum’s long-term governance architecture.
