Members can join working groups on the network platforms to operate as transition arenas, taking on specific challenges related to ESG issues. Each group works at national, regional, or local levels in a semi-autonomous mode with its own rules, logic, incentives, and assessment mechanisms. Working Groups leverage the full potential of the GCRI's multi-platform network to engage QH stakeholders, generate consensus, assemble CCells, create credit pools and manage teams across different disciplines. A competence cell is conceived as a small production unit which functions as a Digital Twin to simulate risks and innovation in large-scale projects. Competence Cells encourage various actors from QH to sponsor LLL programs and support micro-credentials through WILPs for upskilling, risk mitigation, and resilience building.
Design and run resilience programs that keep critical functions—power, water, health, mobility, communications, finance, food and public safety—operating under stress. We make resilience investable and auditable: hazard foresight → dependency mapping → resilient design → financed implementation → live operations → open assurance. Participation is federated through NWGs so local knowledge shapes national policy and regional/international commitments—without sacrificing speed, consistency, or legal defensibility. Aligned with: Sendai Framework • SDGs (3,6,7,9,11,12,13,16,17) • Paris/UNFCCC (adaptation, L&D) • WHO IHR (health emergencies) • IFC Performance Standards • ISO/IEC risk & continuity standards • regional/sectoral safety regimes (ICAO/IMO/ITU/WMO) • disclosure interfaces where relevant (ISSB/CSRD/GRI/TCFD/TNFD)
- Compound extremes: heat + drought + wildfire + grid stress; floods with landslides and disease spikes
- Aging, over-connected infrastructure: small failures cascade across energy–water–health–digital systems
- Service-level accountability: continuity, safety, and equity now sit in laws, licenses, and financing covenants
- Data exposure vs. sovereignty: collaboration is essential—but so is lawful basis and privacy-preserving analytics
- Budget stress: every dollar must reduce Expected Annual Loss (EAL) and improve service KPIs, not just build assets
Hazard Foresight
Price the peril, not the guesswork. Our modeling stack fuses Earth Observation, in-situ sensors, supervisory data, and NGFS/CMIP pathways to deliver finance-grade hazard curves at asset, network, and municipal scales. Outputs include EL/EAL and tail metrics (VaR/TVaR) with disclosed uncertainty bands and covenant-ready thresholds you can drop into underwriting, ICAAP/ORSA, and rating files. The result is actionable, auditable pricing of acute and chronic risk—so buffers, reinsurance, and portfolio tilts are sized before losses hit the balance sheet
Stress Simulator
Stress that connects to capital. Agent-based and system-dynamics twins run base/adverse/severe scenarios—heat + outage + smoke, flood + landslide + supply delays—over hours to decades. Deliverables include PD/LGD shifts, liquidity draws, continuity SLA impacts, and cure/waiver playbooks, aligned to NGFS. Supervisors, boards, and credit committees see precisely how shocks flow to losses and capital plans—so guarantees, first-loss tranches, and reinsurance are right-sized, not improvised
Pathways & Adaptation
The cabinet slide everyone aligns on. Side-by-side options (gray/green/hybrid) compare CAPEX/OPEX, EAL reduction per dollar, co-benefits, and uncertainty bands—plus distributional and nature impacts. Portfolios are ranked by risk removed and service impact, with staged milestones and decision gates. Leaders get transparent, defensible choices; investors get clarity; communities see who benefits, where, and when
Continuity-as-a-Service
Pay for uptime, not just equipment. Outcome-based contracts tie vendor payment to verified continuity and time-to-restore, with runbooks, escalation ladders, and measurement methods encoded as clauses. Cash flows align with SLAs; disputes drop; incentives shift from capex installed to downtime avoided. Better reliability, cleaner governance, fewer stranded assets
Nature-Positive Resilience
Make nature a performance asset. Floodplains, wetlands, reefs, and urban forests operate as first-line defenses with hydrologic, thermal, and air-quality benefits tied to service KPIs (peak shaving, cooling degree reductions). Term sheets define O&M trusts, inspection regimes, and thresholds; MRV aligns with TNFD and environmental safeguards. Co-benefits improve economics and broaden investor appetite—turning NbS into financeable, auditable continuity
Cyber-Physical Guardrails
Emergency mode, still compliant. Controls for OT/IT failure modes, communications fallbacks, and identity federation ensure incident response never breaks security or lawful basis. Playbooks integrate cyber events into multi-hazard ops; attestations and immutable logs prove integrity to supervisors and courts. Resilience that’s secure-by-default and auditable end-to-end
Interdependency Graphs
See the system, not just the site. A continuously updated graph maps asset → service → population → counterparty dependencies across energy, water, health, digital, and transport. It surfaces cascade paths, critical hubs, equity-sensitive exposure, and the cheapest “cut-points” for risk removal. Finance teams get dependency-adjusted EL/EAL and concentration limits; operators get rerouting options and mutual-aid triggers. Fewer correlated losses, faster restoration, stronger rating cases
Resilience Performance
Bankability by design, not afterthought. We turn foresight into enforceable service metrics—SAIDI/SAIFI, time-to-restore, hospital surge capacity, potable water continuity, 911/112 uptime—paired with load envelopes, siting rules, O&M regimes, and equity thresholds. RPS packs ship with model cards and tests, clearing diligence and taxonomy checks on the first pass for loans, bonds, PPPs, and licenses. One line-of-sight from design intent to measurable continuity
Liquidity Rails
Liquidity in hours/days, not months. Forecast- and impact-based triggers release pre-arranged funds for O&M continuity, rapid repair, and surge logistics. Basis risk is back-tested; oracles carry SLAs; payouts route to treasuries, insurers, donors, and suppliers with receipt-level verification and audit trails. Facilities can be pooled regionally and disclosed once to supervisors. Continuity is maintained, downtime minimized, ratings protected
Logistics Network
When thresholds trip, help is already moving. Pre-agreed inventories, credentialed crews, and cross-border protocols activate automatically under clause-governed triggers. Dispatch, reimbursement, and donor reporting are backed by timestamped receipts and geotagged evidence; exercises and real events continuously improve the playbook. Faster restoration at lower cost—with documentation that stands up to supervisory and parliamentary scrutiny
Resilience of Social Protection
Equity that clears audit. Targeting, AML/KYC rails, and verified disbursement keep cash, vouchers, shelters, and health services flowing to vulnerable households and SMEs when forecast or impact triggers fire. Grievance and remedy ledgers, FPIC observance, and delivery receipts convert commitments into financeable protections. Social license strengthens resilience programs rather than delaying them
Data Commons
Proof over promises. A rights-managed evidence room—schemas, lineage graphs, model cards—feeds boards, SAIs, supervisors, rating agencies, and courts from the same record. Build-once pipelines compile Sendai/SDG/UNFCCC/CBD/IHR indicators and, where needed, ISSB/CSRD/GRI/TCFD/TNFD disclosures, under maker-checker controls, TEEs, differential privacy, and residency rules. Assurance you can show, privacy you can defend—and scalability you can finance
The Nexus Reports provide comprehensive evaluations of country-specific risks and opportunities, focusing on biodiversity, ecosystem services, climate change vulnerabilities, socio-economic risks, the food-water-energy nexus, and exponential technologies.
