Scope and questions

The subject is the one named by the Nexus Reports programme for this code.

  1. Where is water stress structural and where is it acute?
  2. Which basins carry transboundary dependency risk?
  3. How do floods and droughts transmit into food, energy and health?
02Construction

Domain indices to the series index

The series index is the expert-weighted geometric mean of its domain indices, with the intervals and class rule of the methodology.

অবস্থা

The methodology, structure and definitions of The Global Risks Index are a preparatory working draft (2026), circulated for review and comment and not for implementation. No value appears until an edition is released from a governed evidence cut; values then carry intervals, classes, sources and their correction pathway. Simulators run the published methods on numbers you choose and never show a NXS-GRX value.

NXS-GRX যা নয়

NXS-GRX গবেষণা ও ঝুঁকি-বিশ্লেষণ তথ্য। এটি ঋণ বা ESG রেটিং নয় এবং কোনো রেটিং স্কেল ব্যবহার করে না; এটি আর্থিক উপকরণের বেঞ্চমার্ক নয়, সরকারি পরিসংখ্যান নয়, জরুরি সতর্কবার্তা বা সরকারি শ্রেণিবিভাগ নয় এবং পরামর্শ নয়। প্রাকৃতিক ব্যক্তিদের মূল্যায়নে এটি ব্যবহার করা যাবে না। ঝুঁকির শ্রেণি হলো একটি প্রকাশিত স্কেলের ব্যান্ড, কখনো দেশ বা মানুষের র‍্যাংকিং নয়।

প্রতিষ্ঠান ও উৎস

The Nexus Consortium is stewarded by three independent not-for-profit institutions: The Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI), through GCRI US in Washington, DC and GCRI Canada in Ontario, with GCRI Canada as Lead Institution, Consortium Secretariat and lead contracting organisation; The Global Risks Forum (GRF); and The Global Risks Alliance (GRA). Technology, infrastructure and service providers work with the Consortium at arm’s length under written agreements, like every other external party in the public-private-planet model, and hold no role in its stewardship.

Every value carries the attribution of its sources, which keep their own licences. External names are cited for interoperability only. Nexus-authored text is intended for CC BY 4.0 on release.

Avis en français

La méthodologie et les définitions du NXS-GRX sont un projet de travail préparatoire (2026). Le NXS-GRX est une information de recherche et d’analyse des risques : ni notation, ni indice de référence financier, ni statistique officielle, ni alerte, ni conseil. Les classes de risque sont des bandes sur une échelle publiée, non des classements.
