The Global Risks Alliance (GRA)
Where development finance, critical infrastructure and economic development are studied as science at GCRI, governed at GRF and understood financially at GRA, with links to each counterpart platform.

Development Finance Nexus counterparts are the platforms at GCRI and GRF that work on the same fields under other mandates, among them Water Nexus and Energy Nexus at GCRI as well as Capital Nexus and Disaster and Crisis Governance at GRF. GCRI studies a field as science, GRF governs it and GRA builds shared financial understanding of it, so each counterpart shows another side of development finance.

Development Finance Nexus reads their evidence for its financial meaning and leaves the science and governance with them.
For Development Finance Nexus, counterparts supply the hazard, systems and governance evidence behind project siting, safeguards and the financing layers that protect development investment; Development Finance Nexus adds the financial reading for development bank project and risk officers and environmental and social specialists.
Each term as this page uses it. Where a standard-setting body defines the term, the wording follows that body.
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Counterpart platform | A platform at another Consortium institution that works in a shared field under a different mandate: science at GCRI, governance at GRF or financial understanding at GRA. |
| Field gateway | A GCRI page for one field that links the platforms studying it as science, governing it and building financial understanding of it, with the methods they share. |
| Science-policy interface | The arrangements through which scientific evidence reaches public decisions, including advisory committees, chief scientific advisers, academies and intergovernmental assessments. |
