National and regional participation
Countries own their programmes. National structures set their own priorities under their own legal authority, and regions connect them on questions that cross borders. The Global Risks Forum (GRF) brings national leaders and institutions into dialogue and into the annual programme; it never represents a country, and no regional body binds one. Country formation, the regional desks and the planned hubs are coordinated by the Consortium Secretariat, led by GCRI. A country listed in the consortium geography does not, by that fact, have a constituted programme.

The short answer.
National and regional participation at GRF starts from national ownership: national structures set their priorities under their own legal authority, and regions connect them on cross-border questions. GRF brings national leaders and institutions into dialogue and the annual programme, never represents a country, and no regional body binds one.

Jurisdictions in Oceania and the Pacific.
The jurisdictions that hold authority over this question: countries, their first-level divisions and capitals, shown for Oceania and the Pacific as an example geography for this subject.
National ownership first, then regional and global cooperation.
Country-owned priorities
National structures keep agenda authority and may decline participation or data sharing. A city relationship never becomes national representation.
Shared-system questions
Six regions bring together questions that cross borders. No regional body binds a country, and withdrawal never erases other parties' lawful work.
The annual programme
National and regional missions are proposed and admitted through the cycle described on national and regional participation in Nexus Universe.
How a national programme forms.
| Phase | What happens | Record |
|---|---|---|
| Exploration | Enquiry from national institutions; mapping of existing plans and bodies | Scoping note |
| Agreement | Competent authority agrees scope and publication terms | Programme terms |
| Constitution | Host and lead organisation named; councils formed | Constitution record |
| Operation | Dialogues, exercises, records | Annual review |
Serving national plans.
A programme attaches to national instruments that already exist, such as an NDC, a national DRR strategy or a national action plan for health security, and supports the bodies that own them. Countries are described on countries.
Where to write for national and regional participation.
Regional desks are coordination routes, not offices. The fifteen planned hubs are coordination roles, never offices or territories.
Terms used on this page.
Each term as this page uses it. Where a standard-setting body defines the term, the wording follows that body.
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| Subsidiarity | The principle that a decision is taken at the lowest level able to take it well, with a higher level acting only where the objective cannot be achieved closer to the people concerned; the Treaty on European Union states it. |
| National Nexus Consortium | In the Consortium's national model, the body through which a country's institutions take part in Nexus work, formed under a national record with its own leadership and working groups. |
