Venezuela Risks Forum 2025
The Global Risks Forum – National Engagement Series: Venezuela is an annual, hybrid-format initiative led by NWG Venezuela, a nonpartisan, interdisciplinary coalition of national and international experts. Operating independently from the Government of Venezuela and without any political affiliation, NWG Venezuela provides a neutral space for addressing systemic risks through collective intelligence, applied innovation, and evidence-based governance across disaster risk reduction (DRR), disaster risk finance (DRF), and disaster risk intelligence (DRI).
As part of the Global Risks Alliance (GRA) and Global Risks Forum (GRF), this series brings together actors across the quintuple helix—academia, civil society, the private sector, international agencies, and government institutions (engaged solely as stakeholders, not organizers)—to co-develop solutions for resilience and sustainability.
Strategic Purpose
The Venezuela edition aims to:
- Address the interlinked risks of economic instability, infrastructure collapse, climate shocks, and food insecurity;
- Foster systems-level solutions for disaster response, energy transition, and ecosystem restoration;
- Introduce digital public goods, risk-informed financial strategies, and blockchain-based social protection models;
- Promote knowledge exchange between local communities, diaspora networks, and global research ecosystems.
Sessions focus on creating frameworks for participatory planning, early warning systems, adaptive finance, and co-governance aligned with ecological and social justice.
Technical Foundation: Nexus Ecosystem Integration
The forum is powered by the Nexus Ecosystem, a modular infrastructure that integrates AI, quantum-cloud computing, blockchain, and IoT to support real-time decision-making and cross-sector collaboration. Core capabilities include:
- AI/ML-based forecasting and simulation tools for macroeconomic risks, migration dynamics, and public health vulnerabilities
- Geospatial and Earth Observation systems for environmental monitoring, land degradation, and infrastructure mapping
- Blockchain-powered finance platforms for community-based insurance, cash transfer systems, and aid traceability
- IoT-enabled risk monitoring for flood-prone zones, energy grids, and agricultural supply chains
- Digital twin and scenario planning environments for policy prototyping, crisis response, and urban recovery
- Ethical data governance frameworks ensuring community sovereignty, transparency, and inclusive benchmarking
These tools enable stakeholders in Venezuela to assess complex risks, design adaptive strategies, and implement transformative actions rooted in sustainability and equity.
Governance and Participation
NWG Venezuela operates independently and is fully aligned with the guiding principles of GRA and GRF. The forum is not affiliated with, governed by, or endorsed by any political or state entity, preserving a space for open, ethical, and science-based engagement.
Participation is open to local innovators, grassroots leaders, academics, youth, technologists, and global partners committed to building a resilient and just future for Venezuela. Emphasis is placed on solidarity, systemic innovation, and multi-stakeholder dialogue.
