Column height and colour show people per km² by unit, in quantile fifths among the units shown (the key on the map gives the breaks); units with no people on the grid are grey, not the lowest class; the raster beneath is the GHSL 2025 population grid. Source observations, not index values. Choose a humanitarian figure from the list to colour and raise the units by it; each figure shows its source on the unit page. Select a unit to drill into the units inside it; the path above the map climbs back.

Hali

Mbinu, muundo na fasili za The Global Risks Index ni rasimu ya kazi ya maandalizi (2026), inayosambazwa kwa mapitio na maoni na si kwa utekelezaji. Hakuna thamani itakayoonekana hadi toleo litakapotolewa kutoka kato la ushahidi linalosimamiwa; kisha thamani zitakuwa na vipindi, madaraja, vyanzo na njia yake ya masahihisho. Viigaji huendesha mbinu zilizochapishwa kwa namba unazochagua na kamwe havionyeshi thamani ya NXS-GRX.

A country profile reads public evidence about a place. It is not a statement by or about the policy of any government, takes no position on the status of any territory, and does not imply a national programme or participation. Names follow UN M49.

NXS-GRX si nini

NXS-GRX ni taarifa ya utafiti na uchambuzi wa hatari. Si daraja la mikopo wala la ESG na haitumii kipimo chochote cha daraja, si kigezo cha vyombo vya fedha, si takwimu rasmi, si onyo la dharura wala uainishaji rasmi, na si ushauri. Haipaswi kutumiwa kutathmini watu binafsi. Madaraja ya hatari ni mikanda kwenye kipimo kilichochapishwa, kamwe si mpangilio wa nchi au watu.

Ishara za Pulse na uwezekano wa mtazamo ni taarifa za kukaguliwa na mamlaka husika, kamwe si maonyo ya umma; maonyo rasmi hutoka tu kwa mamlaka zilizopewa jukumu.

Taasisi na vyanzo

Nexus Consortium inasimamiwa na taasisi tatu huru zisizo za faida: The Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI), kupitia GCRI US huko Washington, DC na GCRI Canada huko Ontario, huku GCRI Canada ikiwa Taasisi Kiongozi, Sekretarieti ya Muungano na shirika kiongozi la mikataba; The Global Risks Forum (GRF); na The Global Risks Alliance (GRA). Watoa huduma za teknolojia, miundombinu na huduma hufanya kazi na Muungano kwa umbali chini ya makubaliano ya maandishi, kama kila mhusika mwingine wa nje katika muundo wa umma, sekta binafsi na sayari, na hawana jukumu lolote katika usimamizi wake.

Kila thamani ina utajo wa vyanzo vyake, ambavyo hubaki na leseni zao. Majina ya nje yanatajwa kwa ajili ya mwingiliano tu. Maandishi yaliyoandikwa na Nexus yanakusudiwa kuwa chini ya CC BY 4.0 yatakapotolewa.

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.
