Purpose and publisher
Reports is published by The Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI) as the single governed publication programme of the Nexus Consortium. Its purpose is to make the Consortium’s research public in a form that readers can check, cite and reuse. This page sets out who is responsible for it, how its independence is protected and the limits of what a report is.

Purpose and publisher in four parts.
Why the programme exists.
Accessible research
Accessible editions, reusable figures and permitted data, so that findings reach people who do not read journals.
Checkable claims
Sources, methods, evidence labels and uncertainty stated with every claim.
Permanent versions
Editions and corrections kept as permanent records, so later work can trace what was known and when.
Who is responsible.
GCRI publishes Reports and answers for its content. GCRI Canada is the lead contracting organisation. Each edition names its publisher, editors and authors.
- Status: established. Information and enquiries are open today.
- Why a dedicated platform: Reports keeps its existing community and published site, and its existing activity is published as its records are confirmed.
- Editorial rules are set out on editorial governance and methods and publication process.
What a report is not.
GCRI is a research, development and policy institution. It is not a regulator, and it does not certify, license or approve; its findings carry their methods and uncertainty.
- A report is independent analysis, not a decision, regulation or formal statement of any government unless that government authorises it in writing.
- A scenario is an exploration, not a forecast; a readiness report describes fitness for a stated next step and is not approval, bankability or certification.
- Funding, hosting or contribution confers no right to change or block a finding.
- A report planned is not a report released.
- A readiness edition describes fitness for a stated next step only.
- Reports does not publish advertising, paid placements or sponsored content presented as research.
Contributions across the Consortium.
Specialist platforms at GCRI, The Global Risks Forum (GRF) and The Global Risks Alliance (GRA) contribute to series within their mandates. Research agendas are discussed with Research Nexus at GRF. Contributions follow the same review, sourcing and disclosure rules, whichever institution they come from, and each edition states which platforms contributed and in what role.
