Each request gets a reference
Contact GRA by the route that fits.
Pick the route for your question: finance readiness, membership, councils, evidence, media, corrections, competition-law and conduct concerns, or privacy. A country or consortium programme goes through an enquiry, to a regional desk where one applies. Each route opens its own form, gives a reference and says how long an answer takes.

Each form opens on its own page. When you send it you get a reference, and you follow the answer on this site, not by email. A request creates no membership, role or commitment.

03Secretariat and regional desks
Six regional desks.
The Consortium Secretariat is held by GCRI Canada for the Nexus Consortium, which The Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI) leads. For a programme in one region, write to its desk through the enquiry form. Desks coordinate programmes across the region; they are not offices or mailboxes of the Global Risks Alliance (GRA).

04What to include
A useful enquiry in five lines.
Name the decision your question will inform. It is the fastest way to the right team.
- 01
Who you are
Your name, your institution and the capacity in which you write.
- 02
The decision or question
What you need to understand, and the decision it will inform.
- 03
Scope
The sector, country or region, and the horizon you have in mind.
- 04
Evidence you already hold
Describe it; do not attach confidential or competitively sensitive data to a first email.
- 05
Timing
Any date that matters to you, so the acknowledgement can say plainly whether GRA can help in time.
An enquiry does not create membership, an engagement or any commitment. GRA does not take requests to lend, insure, invest, recommend a counterparty or execute a transaction.
05Privacy
How your enquiry is handled.
Your enquiry is used to answer it and to keep a record of it. Each site has its own privacy notice and controller: a request through a form on this site is handled under the notice on this site. Requests about your personal data go through the privacy request form; the privacy contact is privacy@globalriskalliance.com.
Forms
Every route is a form.
Every route on this page opens its own form page. Each gives your request a reference and lets you follow the answer on the status page; all forms of this site are listed together.
GRA is not an emergency service. In immediate danger, contact your local emergency services.
06Questions
Questions about contacting GRA.
Which route should I choose?
Make an enquiry, or write to a regional desk, when your enquiry concerns a country or consortium programme. Choose a GRA route for finance readiness, membership, councils, evidence, media, corrections, competition-law and conduct concerns, or privacy.
What happens after I write?
The form gives a reference, says how long an answer takes and the status page names the next step. No delivery time is promised for later work; any next step is described to you before it is agreed.
Can I send confidential data?
Not in a first request. Describe what you hold; if work proceeds, data is exchanged only under agreed rights and through a channel suited to its sensitivity.
Can I visit the GRA address?
The address is published for correspondence. Please arrange any meeting through an enquiry first.
Can I ask GRA to fund, insure, rate or recommend a project?
No. GRA does none of these, and it does not introduce investors, lenders or insurers. It can prepare evidence for the independent review of the institutions that decide, through its finance readiness work.
