4.1What this chapter will report

The concerns raised by the public and by civil society, as they were raised.

It answers the frame question "risk and capability" in the terms of the Global Risks Forum (GRF) Public Deliberation, so the Collection can set it beside chapter 4 of the other desks’ editions.

4.2Where the evidence sits now

The nearest material today is chapter 4 of the Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI) Systems Evidence edition for North America: risks and capability. It is a cross-reference, not a copy, and it is a draft in stewardship review.

GCRI edition, chapter 4

4.3Contribute to this chapter

The record of deliberation: what a convening, council, dialogue or working group was asked, what it concluded, where participants disagreed and which questions stayed open. Material for this chapter goes to the GRF Public Deliberation desk; what belongs to another desk is forwarded, not refused.

The Forum reads an edition for public meaning: what a finding means for governance, diplomacy and trust, and how it can be said without overclaiming.

If you took part in a convening, send the record and say which body held it. The Forum will ask each participant before it names them.
