Built on Nexus Standards
Names, identifiers, indicators, hazards, construction, evidence, metadata, citation, maps and licensing all follow Nexus Standards, so every value can be found, cited, recomputed and corrected.
Names on every page
Names follow the Nexus Standards public names register and naming conventions, so they avoid conflicts with other marks and resolve to their definitions.
- Système
- NXS-GRX (canonical data, provenance and risk), defined by NRS-S6
- Public index
- The Global Risks Index (NXS-GRX (canonical data, provenance and risk))
- Composantes
- NXS-GRX Cell Intelligence · NXS-GRX Cell Lens · NXS-GRX Data · NXS-GRX Data Identifiers · NXS-GRX Data Sources · NXS-GRX Global · NXS-GRX Graph · NXS-GRX Grid · NXS-GRX Passports · NXS-GRX Spatial Database
- Context names
- NXS-GRX-<REGION>, for example NXS-GRX-KEN; region codes are ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 or UN M49 (M002)
- Retired names
- Retired terms of the public names register never appear on a page; the build refuses them and rewrites them in data carried from sources.
- First mention
- The first mention of each name on a page links to its definition; a system carries its descriptor.
A system is named NXS-<SCOPE>, exactly so in prose, menus, titles and link text
A system is named NXS-<SCOPE>, exactly so in prose, menus, titles and link text; never "Nexus <word>", "NXS <SCOPE>" or lowercase.
On first mention on a page a system carries its descriptor, e
On first mention on a page a system carries its descriptor, e.g. "NXS-STU (composition, dashboards and workflows)", and links to its definition; later mentions use the short name.
A component is NXS-<SCOPE> <Descriptor>
A component is NXS-<SCOPE> <Descriptor>; a component built on a third-party project carries its credit wording and never the project name as its own.
A context is named by extension, NXS-<SCOPE>[-<DOMAIN>][-<SECTOR>][-<REGION>][-<ENV>] (NS-1, NS-9), and resolves to its contextual UNI
A context is named by extension, NXS-<SCOPE>[-<DOMAIN>][-<SECTOR>][-<REGION>][-<ENV>] (NS-1, NS-9), and resolves to its contextual UNI; a display name never carries a category or serial.
Institutions are named in full on first mention on every page: The Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI), The Global Risks Forum (GRF), The Global Risks Alliance (GRA)
Institutions are named in full on first mention on every page: The Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI), The Global Risks Forum (GRF), The Global Risks Alliance (GRA).
A retired term with match exact never appears on a public page
A retired term with match exact never appears on a public page; one with match contextual is replaced where it names the thing in this register and kept where it means something else (the note says which).
Link the first mention of every name on a page to its definition (definition
Link the first mention of every name on a page to its definition (its definition page); never link a retired term.

Universal Nexus Identifiers
Every artefact the index publishes is catalogued with a UNI; no UNI is typed by hand.

- Les UNI sont attribués par le catalogue Nexus Standards (NS1-R2), jamais saisis à la main.

- A record version is cited as

Metadata, citation and maps
Jeux de données
STAC 1.1 items whose id is the UNI, DCAT 3 records with the URN and DOI, and PROV-O bundles for lineage (NS-3b).
Citations
Every citation carries the UNI; derived works cite their source UNIs; CFF 1.2 and DataCite 4.5 forms (NS-2).
Maps and figures
UNI in metadata and caption, values traced to record UNIs, explicit no-data and degraded states, withheld features counted (NS-5).
API
Responses carry X-Nexus-UNI; the OpenAPI contract names every surface (NS-6).
Status and conformance
Nexus Standards are a preparatory working draft (status PROPOSED); NXS-GRX follows them as designed and does not claim conformance before NS-14 assessment.
Propose a change to a standard
Changes to Nexus Standards follow the standards development process (NS-13).
Statut
La méthodologie, la structure et les définitions de The Global Risks Index constituent un projet de travail préparatoire (2026), diffusé pour examen et commentaires et non pour mise en œuvre. Aucune valeur n'apparaît avant la publication d'une édition à partir d'une coupe de données probantes encadrée ; les valeurs comportent alors des intervalles, des classes, des sources et leur voie de correction. Les simulateurs appliquent les méthodes publiées à des nombres que vous choisissez et n'affichent jamais de valeur NXS-GRX.
Ce que NXS-GRX n'est pas
NXS-GRX est une information de recherche et d'analyse des risques. Ce n'est pas une notation de crédit ou ESG et il n'utilise aucune échelle de notation ; ce n'est pas un indice de référence pour des instruments financiers, ni une statistique officielle, ni une alerte d'urgence ou une classification officielle, ni un conseil. Il ne doit pas servir à évaluer des personnes physiques. Les classes de risque sont des bandes sur une échelle publiée, jamais des classements de pays ou de personnes.
Institutions et sources
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.
Chaque valeur porte l'attribution de ses sources, qui conservent leurs propres licences. Les noms externes ne sont cités qu'à des fins d'interopérabilité. Les textes rédigés par Nexus sont destinés à être publiés sous licence CC BY 4.0.
