Climate and Nature Financial Risk
The Global Risks Alliance (GRA)
The science, technology, engineering and mathematics Climate and Nature Financial Risk rests on. Each method has a canonical page in the STEM Commons, hosted by GCRI, and a page here on how it is applied in this field.

The Climate and Nature Financial Risk STEM foundation is the set of canonical methods its findings depend on, from climate and atmospheric science to spatial statistics and geostatistics. Each method has a canonical STEM Commons page and a page here on its use in the climate and hazards field.

Layers and dates
Each Climate and Nature Financial Risk method is described once in the STEM Commons at GCRI and applied here to physical, transition and nature risk across sectors.
When a finding names the methods it depends on, a reader can see its assumptions and limits, and an expert in that method can challenge it.
Each term as this page uses it. Where a standard-setting body defines the term, the wording follows that body.
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| STEM Commons | The shared reference of science, technology, engineering and mathematics methods for the Nexus network, hosted by GCRI, with one canonical page per method and a named steward platform. |
| Steward platform | The platform that maintains the canonical description of a method in the STEM Commons and reviews how other platforms apply it. |
| Climate and atmospheric science | Climate science studies the physical processes that govern the atmosphere, oceans, cryosphere and land surface over seasons to centuries. |
| Ecology and biodiversity science | Ecology studies the interactions among organisms and between organisms and their environment, from populations to ecosystems. |
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.
