Climate and Nature Financial Risk
The Global Risks Alliance (GRA)
Moderated groups where specialists discuss questions in Climate and Nature Financial Risk. Each group is listed here when its moderation, terms and hosting are in place, with its scope and how to join.
GRA · In development · service level R0
Climate and Nature Financial Risk subject groups are moderated forums where climate risk professionals and risk modellers discuss open questions in the climate and hazards field, such as physical climate risk and transition risk. Each group is listed once its moderation, terms and hosting are in place, with its scope and how to join. A group informs the platform's work and has no authority over its findings.

For industry groups, in GRA's spatial-finance reading, the map opens on population density and night lights with built-up and settlement extent from NASA GIBS, framed on Southeast Asia; 4 further NASA layers wait in the list.

Layers and dates
No Climate and Nature Financial Risk group is open yet; each is listed with its status when it opens.
| Proposed group | What it would examine | Out of scope |
|---|---|---|
| Damage functions | How sensitive are results to damage functions? | alignment certifications |
| Nature dependencies | Where do nature dependencies concentrate? | ratings |
| Insurability | When does insurability break? | advice on transition plans of named firms |
Each proposed Climate and Nature Financial Risk group would publish its scope, moderator and terms before opening, and would work from hazard layers, pathways, ecosystem data.

Each term as this page uses it. Where a standard-setting body defines the term, the wording follows that body.
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Community of practice | A group of people who share a concern or a craft and learn to do it better by interacting regularly; the term comes from Lave and Wenger's work on situated learning. |
| Chatham House Rule | A rule under which participants may use information received but may not reveal the identity or affiliation of speakers. |
| Nature-related financial risk | Financial risk from dependence on nature, its degradation and actions to protect it, as the NGFS frames it. |
| Acute physical risk | Risk from event-driven hazards such as floods, cyclones and wildfires. |
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.
