Node Definition Standartlar
Atmosfer ve havaatmo Hazards that live in the air column: storms, winds, precipitation extremes, thermal extremes, airborne particles and large-scale circulation anomalies.
Su sistemleriwater Hazards of fresh and salt water: floods, water deficit, sea-level and wave hazards, ocean-state extremes and water-quality degradation.
Buz ve karcryo Hazards of the frozen Earth: snowpack and avalanche, glacier and permafrost change, floating ice.
Katı Yergeo Hazards of the crust and ground: fault shaking, eruptions, slope failure, ground deformation and surface erosion.
Uzay ve Yer'e yakın alanspace Hazards that arrive from or act in space: solar-terrestrial storms, impacts and orbital debris.
Kara ve ekosistemlereco Hazards of the living land and sea surface: vegetation fire, forest stress, land degradation, biodiversity loss and climate-state shifts.
Gezegen sınırları ve Yer sistemi eşik noktalarıplanet Hazards of the Earth system as a whole: transgression of the boundaries that keep the planet in a stable state, tipping of large climate, ice, ocean and biome components, carbon-cycle feedbacks, and rare deep-time and cosmic catastrophes.
Kirlilik ve tehlikeli maddelerpoll Harmful substances in air, water, soil and food, toxic releases, ionising radiation and waste-containment failures.
Sağlık ve biyogüvenlikhealth Disease and biological harm to people, animals and plants, grouped by transmission route, plus systemic biological risks, chronic and mental-health burdens, drug resistance and the failure of health systems.
Yapılı sistemlerinfra Failure and accident hazards of structures, energy, water, digital and space-service networks, mobility, food systems, cities, ageing assets and industrial plants.
Bilgi ve siber-fiziksel sistemlercyber Compromise or failure of information systems, including attacks that reach physical processes, identity and trust services, systemic cyber events and platforms everything else depends on.
Öncü ve üstel teknolojitech Hazards that arise from frontier and exponential technologies: artificial intelligence, biotechnology, advanced materials, quantum, neurotechnology, autonomy, climate intervention, space systems, digital concentration, advanced manufacturing and energy-transition technology.
Toplum, çatışma ve ekonomisoc Violence, geopolitical and nuclear confrontation, conflict-induced harm, humanitarian crises, governance and cohesion failure, crime, demographic and labour transitions, macro-fiscal and financial-system shocks, and loss of heritage.
Sistemik ve bileşik olaylarsys Events defined by interaction rather than by one process: supply-chain disruption, cascading failure, compound multi-hazard events and the structural fragility (concentration, coupling, polycrisis) that lets them spread.

risk classes (global, catastrophic, existential, emerging, planetary, exponential, frontier technology)

Node Definition Standartlar
Global riskglobal A hazard is global when its occurrence, its consequences or its causal chain cross national borders and act at continental or planetary scale, so that no single country can fully assess, prevent or absorb it.
Felaket riskicatastrophic A hazard is catastrophic when at least one plausible scenario for it would cause global catastrophe: a very large loss of life, the crippling of global systems, or a civilisational setback that would take generations to recover from.
Existential riskexistential A hazard is existential when a plausible scenario for it would cause human extinction or a permanent, unrecoverable collapse of humanity’s long-term potential.
Emerging riskemerging A hazard is emerging when it is new, or is changing fast in nature, scale, likelihood or reach, and the evidence base for assessing it is still thin or immature.
Planetary riskplanetary A hazard is planetary when it concerns the stability of an Earth-system process: it pressures a planetary boundary, or it is, or directly drives, a tipping element whose change of state would alter the Earth system as a whole.
Exponential riskexponential A hazard is exponential when its growth or diffusion is self-accelerating, through compounding technology capability, contagion, network effects or reinforcing feedback, so that its scale can outrun linear planning and response.
Frontier technology riskfrontier-tech A hazard is frontier-tech when it arises from frontier or fast-advancing technology, through accident, misuse, unintended system behaviour or structural effects of its deployment.
