SUMMARY:Canada Risks Forum
DESCRIPTION:The Global Risks Forum – National Engagement Series: Canada is a hybrid-format initiative led by NWG Canada, an independent, multidisciplinary platform composed of researchers, Indigenous knowledge holders, policy experts, youth leaders, technologists, and civil society actors. Operating autonomously from the Government of Canada and free from political affiliation, NWG Canada provides a nonpartisan space for advancing evidence-based dialogue and inclusive innovation in disaster risk reduction (DRR), disaster risk finance (DRF), and disaster risk intelligence (DRI).\nThis edition aligns with the broader mission of the Global Risks Alliance (GRA) and the Global Risks Forum (GRF)—planetary initiatives advancing systemic foresight, ethical governance, and anticipatory resilience. The forum brings together actors from the quintuple helix: academia, civil society, private sector, international partners, and government (as non-governing stakeholders).\n\nStrategic Purpose\nThe Canada series is designed to:\n\nAddress complex and systemic risks such as wildfires, floods, Arctic permafrost melt, cyber threats, health system strain, and social inequities;\nIntegrate Indigenous governance, community resilience, and digital transformation into national adaptation strategies;\nAdvance sustainable and inclusive finance tools such as climate resilience bonds, green social infrastructure investments, and parametric insurance;\nEmpower youth, urban and rural communities, and historically marginalized populations to co-create futures that are just, sustainable, and climate-resilient.\n\nSessions generate actionable outputs such as co-developed policy frameworks, foresight simulations, regional risk maps, and cross-sector investment models.\n\nGovernance and Participation\nNWG Canada operates with full independence, in alignment with the ethical principles and global frameworks of the GRA and GRF. It is not affiliated with or accountable to any government agency or political organization, ensuring the neutrality, transparency, and integrity of all dialogues, processes, and outcomes.\nParticipation is open to Indigenous governments, municipal leaders, public health agencies, academic institutions, youth networks, climate finance actors, civil society organizations, and global collaborators committed to inclusive and anticipatory resilience building.\n\nJoin the Movement\nWe invite Indigenous governance leaders, sustainability scientists, digital innovators, housing advocates, educators, community organizers, and international partners to join the Global Risks Forum – Canada Series as speakers, contributors, and co-creators. This is a critical opportunity to co-design future-facing policy tools, regenerative economic pathways, and risk governance systems rooted in Canada’s diverse knowledge systems and shared responsibilities.\n\n
