The Global Risks Forum (GRF)
How Foresight Nexus organizes work into programmes: global priorities, regional applications and country work, each shown with its actual status.
Foresight Nexus programmes organize its work on foresight as well as risk management and systemic risk at three levels: global priorities, regional applications and country work. Each programme shows its recorded status, from exploring and forming to active, paused or archived, and a plan is never presented as an activity. Countries take part through their national programmes and the Consortium Secretariat.

For programmes and projects, in GRF's situational-awareness reading, the map opens on population density, flood water and active fires, framed on the Arctic; every other NASA layer, live feed and forecast waits in the layer list.

| Anticipatory governance | How do institutions build foresight into budget and planning cycles? |
| Decision-making under deep uncertainty | Which decisions stay sound when probabilities cannot be assigned? |
| Future generations | How can institutions weigh the interests of people not yet born? |
| Technology futures | Which emerging technologies need governance attention before they scale? |

A programme is shown as exploring, forming, constituted, active, paused or archived, according to its record. A plan is never presented as an activity.
Each term as this page uses it. Where a standard-setting body defines the term, the wording follows that body.
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Programme | A group of related projects and activities managed together to obtain benefits that managing them separately would not, in the sense the Project Management Institute's programme standard uses. |
| Programme status | The recorded state of a programme on Nexus pages: exploring, forming, constituted, active, paused or archived. A plan is never presented as an activity. |
| Country ownership | The principle that a country leads its own development policies and strategies and coordinates the actions that support them, set out in the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness. |
| Horizon scanning | The systematic search for early signs of change, such as weak signals and emerging issues, before they reach the policy agenda. |

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.
