In the United States, GCRI is registered as a domestic nonprofit corporation in the District of Columbia under D.C. Code Title 29, Chapter 4, with File Number N00008470543. GCRI also maintains affiliated legal registrations in Switzerland, where it operates as an international association governed by Articles 60–79 of the Swiss Civil Code, and is domiciled in accordance with cantonal and federal association regulations. GCRI is further authorized to operate in Singapore, where it adheres to the Charities Act (Cap. 37) and applicable provisions under the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA) framework, and in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, where it complies with the legal framework of nonprofit and international institutions operating under the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) and other relevant UAE regulations. Since 2023, GCRI has maintained Special Consultative Status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) and functions as a federated, sovereign-grade institution designed to serve as a trusted global node for public-interest research, digital infrastructure, and clause-governed governance innovation. GCRI aligns its governance and operations with the principles articulated in the UN Charter, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. GCRI is organized exclusively for public benefit, scientific, educational, and research purposes, and is structured to comply with nonprofit laws in all jurisdictions of operation. GCRI affirms that no part of its earnings shall inure to the benefit of any private party, officer, or board member, and no substantial part of its activities shall involve political campaign intervention or lobbying, except where expressly permitted for public-interest advocacy. The organization maintains a governing board, conflict-of-interest policy, and internal control systems to ensure institutional compliance with fiduciary and statutory nonprofit obligations in Canada, the United States, Switzerland, Singapore, and the UAE. GCRI’s global mandate is to advance frameworks for foresight science, risk governance, digital public goods, and innovation systems that enable treaty-aligned and clause-certified infrastructure development. GCRI functions exclusively as a systems integrator, governance infrastructure steward, and custodian of public-interest research and simulation tools. GCRI does not and shall not offer, promote, facilitate, or engage in any activity that constitutes a financial, legal, fiduciary, or regulated service under the laws of Canada, the United States, the European Union, Switzerland, Singapore, Dubai, or any other relevant jurisdiction. Specifically, GCRI does not provide, nor shall it be construed to provide: securities issuance, investment advisory, asset or fund management, lending or capital structuring, insurance or reinsurance brokerage, custody services, trust management, blockchain-based financial instruments, or legal, tax, or accounting advice. Any references within GCRI publications or platforms to concepts such as “resilience finance,” “risk corridors,” “capital deployment,” or “governance investment” are intended strictly for educational, policy simulation, and research purposes and shall not be interpreted as a solicitation, offer, or endorsement of financial services. Where GCRI-developed clause systems, simulations, or protocol environments interface with financial, legal, or fiduciary domains that require regulated execution, such services—if and where performed—shall be delivered solely by jurisdictionally authorized and independently licensed entities, including institutional members of the Global Risks Alliance (GRA) or other partners. GCRI itself does not, and cannot, execute, enforce, or distribute any service that would require registration or licensure under applicable financial, fiduciary, or professional regulatory frameworks.

Any redistribution, modification, or commercial application of GCRI content, especially within regulated industries, is expressly prohibited without prior written approval. As the registrar of Clause Commons and custodian of simulation contributions and foresight models, GCRI governs all submissions under non-exclusive, public-interest licensing protocols with irrevocable grant provisions, subject to traceability and dual-use classification (Commons/Public). Contributors acknowledge that their submissions become part of the Commons and remain available under these licensing terms unless a formal withdrawal request is reviewed and accepted by GCRI or its designated arbitration mechanism. GCRI does not collect, store, or monetize personal, financial, health, or biometric data for commercial use. All data utilized in simulations or public-facing tools is either synthetic, anonymized, or aggregated, or obtained through lawful data-sharing agreements. GCRI complies with applicable data protection and privacy regulations, including Canada’s PIPEDA, Switzerland’s FADP, the EU’s GDPR, the U.S. Privacy Act (where applicable), Singapore’s Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA), and UAE’s Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 on Personal Data Protection.

    Accessibility Statement

    • therisk.global
    • November 14, 2025

    Compliance status

    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

    Screen-reader and keyboard navigation

    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:

    1. 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.

    2. 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.

    Disability profiles supported in our website

    • Epilepsy Safe Mode: this profile enables people with epilepsy to use the website safely by eliminating the risk of seizures that result from flashing or blinking animations and risky color combinations.
    • Visually Impaired Mode: this mode adjusts the website for the convenience of users with visual impairments such as Degrading Eyesight, Tunnel Vision, Cataract, Glaucoma, and others.

    • ADHD Friendly Mode: this mode helps users with ADHD and Neurodevelopmental disorders to read, browse, and focus on the main website elements more easily while significantly reducing distractions.
    • Blindness Mode: this mode configures the website to be compatible with screen-readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. A screen-reader is software for blind users that is installed on a computer and smartphone, and websites must be compatible with it.
    • Keyboard Navigation Profile (Motor-Impaired): this profile enables motor-impaired persons to operate the website using the keyboard Tab, Shift+Tab, and the Enter keys. Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

    Additional UI, design, and readability adjustments

    1. Font adjustments – users, can increase and decrease its size, change its family (type), adjust the spacing, alignment, line height, and more.
    2. Color adjustments – users can select various color contrast profiles such as light, dark, inverted, and monochrome. Additionally, users can swap color schemes of titles, texts, and backgrounds, with over seven different coloring options.
    3. Animations – person with epilepsy can stop all running animations with the click of a button. Animations controlled by the interface include videos, GIFs, and CSS flashing transitions.
    4. Content highlighting – users can choose to emphasize important elements such as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight focused or hovered elements only.
    5. Audio muting – users with hearing devices may experience headaches or other issues due to automatic audio playing. This option lets users mute the entire website instantly.
    6. Cognitive disorders – we utilize a search engine that is linked to Wikipedia and Wiktionary, allowing people with cognitive disorders to decipher meanings of phrases, initials, slang, and others.
    7. Additional functions – we provide users the option to change cursor color and size, use a printing mode, enable a virtual keyboard, and many other functions.

    Browser and assistive technology compatibility

    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).

    Notes, comments, and feedback

    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
