The Global Risks Forum (GRF)
How institutions put climate and Nature Governance into practice: comparative experience, lessons learned and the conditions under which approaches work.
Fig.A programme from scoping to the owner's decision. Design, not a record.
Climate and Nature Governance practice notes compare how institutions put the governance of climate and hazards, biodiversity and nature, water, and food and agriculture into practice: approaches across jurisdictions, what worked, what did not and the conditions behind each. Notes are published with their limits so others can adapt them; they are not prescriptions, and GRF does not regulate, finance or certify.
For professional practice, in GRF's situational-awareness reading, the map opens on population density, land cover, daytime surface heat and vegetation with vegetation disturbance alerts from NASA GIBS, framed on the Andes; 2 further NASA layers wait in the list.
The interactive map needs JavaScript; the layer list and sources are below.

Layers and dates
GRF convenes and governs programmes. It does not regulate, finance, procure or certify, and hosting or sponsorship confers no authority over findings.
Each term as this page uses it. Where a standard-setting body defines the term, the wording follows that body.
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Comparative case study | Analysis of several cases chosen to compare how context affects an outcome. |
| Lessons learned | Documented knowledge from experience, positive or negative, recorded to change future practice. |
| Peer benchmarking | Judging a fund's performance against similar funds, which encourages similar allocations. |
| Procedural environmental rights | Rights of access to information, participation in decisions and access to justice in environmental matters, set out in the Aarhus Convention and the Escazú Agreement. |
The bodies and documents this page is read against. Status and editions change; each link goes to the issuing body.
The current service level is R0: information and enquiries. 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.
