The same field across the Consortium

Where oceans and coasts, climate and hazards and biodiversity and nature are studied as science at GCRI, governed at GRF and understood financially at GRA, with links to each counterpart platform.

01In brief

The short answer.

Oceans and Coasts counterparts are the platforms at GRF and GRA that work on the same fields under other mandates, among them Diplomacy Nexus and Climate and Nature Governance at GRF as well as Insurance Nexus and Banking Nexus at GRA. GCRI studies a field as science, GRF governs it and GRA builds shared financial understanding of it, so each counterpart shows another side of oceans and coasts.

04Three sides

How ocean and coastal science meets governance and finance.

Ocean governance is linked to GRF's Climate and Nature Governance; coastal insurance and blue finance are GRA's. Oceans and Coasts supplies the physical, ecological and coastal evidence.

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.

TermDefinition
Counterpart platformA 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.
Field gatewayA 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.
Science-policy interfaceThe arrangements through which scientific evidence reaches public decisions, including advisory committees, chief scientific advisers, academies and intergovernmental assessments.

Questions and answers.

Why three institutions?
Each brings a different mandate: science and evidence at GCRI, governance and convening at GRF, and shared financial-sector understanding at GRA.
