For the same field across the consortium, in GRA's spatial-finance reading, the map opens on population density, night lights and flood water with built-up and settlement extent from NASA GIBS, framed on Pacific Island states; 3 further NASA layers wait in the list.Satellite and model products as NASA publishes them, each with its own date; indicators, not assessments of any place; claim ceiling INTEGRATED.

01In brief

The short answer.

Disaster Risk Finance counterparts are the platforms at GCRI and GRF that work on the same fields under other mandates, among them Nexus Agency and Climate and Hazards 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 disaster and crisis.

04Counterparts

Where Disaster Risk Finance's questions meet science and governance.

Disaster Risk Finance reads their evidence for its financial meaning and leaves the science and governance with them.

For Disaster Risk Finance, counterparts supply the hazard, systems and governance evidence behind fiscal disaster risk and its financing layers; Disaster Risk Finance adds the financial reading for ministry of finance risk units and disaster management agencies.

Each term as this page uses it. Where a standard-setting body defines the term, the wording follows that body.

TermDefinition
Counterpart platformA 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 gatewayA 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 interfaceThe arrangements through which scientific evidence reaches public decisions, including advisory committees, chief scientific advisers, academies and intergovernmental assessments.

Why three institutions?
Each brings a different mandate: science and evidence at GCRI, governance and convening at GRF, and shared financial-sector understanding at GRA.
