The Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI)
Priorities of Systems Science and Modelling shared across countries, and the methods used to compare them. A global programme is a shared agenda, not a claim of global offices.

The Systems Science and Modelling global programme is the shared agenda of priorities in the methods and modelling field that cut across countries, such as model intercomparison and reproducible modelling, with the methods used to compare them. It is an agenda, not a claim of global offices, and each element shows its status from the programme record.

For global subject programme, in GCRI's spatial-intelligence reading, the map opens on true-colour imagery, flood water and night lights with relief in 3D, framed on North America; every other NASA layer, live feed and forecast waits in the layer list.
The interactive map needs JavaScript; the layer list and sources are below.

Layers and dates
Comparing models of the same system, and what disagreement tells you.
Quantifying uncertainty, validation against observations and the limits of calibration.
Linking water, energy, food, health and infrastructure models without hiding assumptions.
Network science for dependency, contagion and cascading failure.
Behaviour, adaptation and emergence in social-technical systems.
Robust and adaptive decisions when futures are deeply uncertain.

| CMIP | Climate model intercomparison |
| DMDU community | Decision methods under deep uncertainty |
Programmes are listed as exploring, forming, constituted, active, paused or archived. Country and regional entries appear when a programme record supports them.
Each term as this page uses it. Where a standard-setting body defines the term, the wording follows that body.
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Programme | A group of related projects and activities managed together to obtain benefits that managing them separately would not, in the sense the Project Management Institute's programme standard uses. |
| Results-based management | A management approach in which everyone contributing to a set of results makes sure their processes, products and services serve those results, and measures progress against them, as the UN Development Group handbook sets out. |
| Theory of change | A stated chain of causes from a programme's activities to its intended outcomes, used to plan evaluation. |
| Verification | Confirming that a system meets its specified requirements, often summarised as building it right. |

The current service level is R0: information and enquiries. An enquiry receives a reference and names the next step; applications, payments, compute allocations and registrations open only when their team, terms and review capacity exist.
