Publication corrections
When a publication of The Global Risks Forum (GRF) is wrong, it is corrected in the open. This page is designed to list every correction to a GRF publication or dialogue record: what changed, why, when, and the version it replaced. A correction creates a recorded new version; it is never a silent edit. Anyone can request one, without membership or payment. No correction has been recorded yet, because no GRF publication has been released in the insights collections.

A corrected item keeps its earlier versions accessible with their dates, so a reader who cited the earlier text can see what changed. See also the trust corrections route.

Requests are reviewed by the responsible editor or source owner, and a request that is not upheld is designed to receive a reasoned answer. Corrections to evidence published by The Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI) go to GCRI, and are listed on GCRI corrections and updates.
Corrections to public information never require membership, an account or a payment.

Each term as this page uses it. Where a standard-setting body defines the term, the wording follows that body.

| Correction | A published notice that amends an error in a work whose main findings stand. |
| Silent edit | A change to a published record made without a new version, notice or date. |
