01In brief

The short answer.

Climate and Nature Governance dialogues are structured conversations in which those who govern climate and hazards, biodiversity and nature, water, and food and agriculture compare evidence and options on a question with an accountable owner. Each runs under agreed attribution rules, often the Chatham House Rule, and its outcome note is published with participants' consent. A dialogue is listed only once it is confirmed.

Scoping to review.

Canvas · scoping to reviewDesign, not a record
Dialogues and cooperation: a programme through its gatesA request with a named owner becomes a scoping note; inputs are qualified at a gate; delivery runs in workstreams; a controlled test and an independent review precede publication; the owner decides. Design of the process, not a record of a run.

03Geography

Water now in World.

For dialogues and cooperation, in GRF's situational-awareness reading, the map opens on flood water, land cover, population density and vegetation with relief in 3D and place names and borders from NASA GIBS, framed on World; 2 further NASA layers wait in the list.

The interactive map needs JavaScript; the layer list and sources are below.

Dialogues are listed when confirmed.

Each dialogue appears here once confirmed, with its host, format and terms. To propose one, write to dialogues@globalriskforum.com.

05The climate and nature dialogue

One territory, four conventions, several ministries.

The governance problem this community is designed to address is fragmentation. Adaptation is reported to the UNFCCC, biodiversity to the CBD, land degradation to the UNCCD and disaster losses to the Sendai Framework, often by different ministries working to different calendars. Dialogues bring those focal points together around one landscape, basin or coastline.
