GRF · Regional cooperation
এশিয়া ও প্রশান্ত মহাসাগরীয় অঞ্চল
Asia and the Pacific spans manufacturing and logistics networks, monsoon and glacier-fed basins, and island states facing compound climate and connectivity risk. Regional instruments frame the work: the ASEAN Agreement on Disaster Management and Emergency Response, the Mekong Agreement (1995), the Framework for Resilient Development in the Pacific (2017 to 2030) and the 2050 Strategy for the Blue Pacific Continent (2022). The region is forming; three hubs are planned, none operates.
Questions that cross borders in Asia and the Pacific.
| Shared system | Question for regional work |
|---|---|
| Glacier-fed and monsoon basins | How will changes in snowmelt, monsoon timing and groundwater use alter water, power and food security across the Indus, Ganges-Brahmaputra and Mekong ব্যবস্থাগুলো? |
| Semiconductor and electronics networks | Which fabrication, materials and logistics nodes are single points of failure for regional and global production? |
| Maritime chokepoints and ports | How would disruption at a strait or hub port propagate through energy imports, food and manufacturing? |
| Typhoon, cyclone and seismic hazards | Where do compound hazards meet dense exposure and limited restoration capacity? |
| Island connectivity | How many Pacific states depend on a single subsea cable or satellite path, and what continuity is realistic? |
These are research questions from the regional programme design maintained by the Consortium Secretariat. They are questions to test, not findings, and no result is published for them yet.

Regional instruments across a very diverse region.
- The ASEAN Agreement on Disaster Management and Emergency Response, the first legally binding regional DRR agreement, with the AHA Centre coordinating.
- The Framework for Resilient Development in the Pacific and the Boe Declaration, which treats climate change as the single greatest threat to Pacific security.
- The Mekong River Commission’s procedures for notification, prior consultation and agreement.
- The South Asian and Central Asian basin arrangements, many of them bilateral.
- The Pacific Catastrophe Risk Insurance Company and the Southeast Asia Disaster Risk Insurance Facility for pre-arranged finance.
Where cooperation is tested most.
| প্রশ্ন | Why it is hard |
|---|---|
| How do upstream dam operations and downstream fisheries share decisions on a mainstream river? | Prior consultation procedures are procedural, not a veto |
| How do island states maintain statehood, maritime zones and services as sea level rises? | International law is still settling the questions; the Pacific Islands Forum declared its position in 2023 |
| How do manufacturing supply chains share disruption information across borders during typhoon season? | Commercial confidentiality and competition rules |
The Asia-Pacific Ministerial Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction is the region’s main Sendai forum.
Coordination roles, not offices.
No regional host is on record. An East Asia Nexus Consortium programme page is published by The Global Risks Alliance (GRA) and is marked as forming. Its formation records and participating structures are confirmed by the Secretariat before they are listed here.
| Planned hub | Programme focus | State |
|---|---|---|
| India | Monsoon and heat, river ব্যবস্থাগুলো, food, health, digital infrastructure, grids and Indian Ocean connections | Planned |
| Singapore | Import dependencies, ports, urban continuity, digital systems and finance | Planned |
| Japan | Seismic and tsunami resilience, manufacturing, robotics, ageing, energy and supply chains | Planned |
A planned hub is a proposed coordination role for shared-system work across a group of countries. It is not an operating site, an office or an exclusive territory, and countries listed in a hub’s scope do not, by that fact, have constituted programmes.
Leadership, dialogue and tested arrangements in the region.
Supply chains and chokepoints show why convening matters here. Port authorities, manufacturers, energy importers and public agencies depend on the same nodes but answer to different mandates. For Pacific island states, small administrations set the question and the pace on their own terms.
Shared-system dialogues
Documented dialogues among the authorities, operators and communities who share a basin, corridor or cable route, with agreements and dissent recorded.
Regional roles in formation
Regional leadership roles are in formation; their scope is published only once adopted. See আঞ্চলিক নেতৃত্ব.
Chokepoint missions
Regional missions, such as a port or strait disruption cascading into energy and food imports, can be proposed to ইউনিভার্স and admitted at gate G1.
Regional dialogue records and reviewed mission findings are designed to inform the Regional Systems series of Reports and the Universe Annual Synthesis. A recurring gap in common methods can be filed as a change proposal to the Nexus Standards.
What is in place, and what is not.
- Programme state: forming. No regional programme decision, host agreement or hub is described as operating.
- National structures keep agenda authority and may decline participation or data sharing.
- No regional body binds a country, and withdrawal never erases other parties’ lawful work.
- The Global Risks Forum (GRF) convenes and records. It does not regulate, finance, procure or certify.
Where to go next.
Write to the regional desk, run by the Consortium Secretariat: the contact form (Asia and Pacific desk). The acknowledgement gives a reference and names the next step. The technical view: GCRI’s Asia and the Pacific region page. The financial view: GRA’s Asia and the Pacific region page. Other regions: আফ্রিকা, Europe and Eurasia and the full list on Regional cooperation.

Questions and answers.
Are Pacific island states part of this region?
Is the East Asia programme of the Nexus Consortiums operating?
How does my institution take part in Asia and the Pacific?
Are there results for this region yet?
Bring a governance question to the Forum.
Information and enquiries are open today. An enquiry receives a reference and names the next step; applications, payments, compute allocations and registrations open only when their team, terms and review capacity exist.
