4.1What this chapter will report

The capacity of public and private balance sheets and of insurance to absorb the risks in scope.

It answers the frame question "risk and capability" in the terms of the Global Risks Alliance (GRA) Capital Readiness, so the Collection can set it beside chapter 4 of the other desks’ editions.

4.2Where the evidence sits now

The nearest material today is chapter 4 of the Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI) Systems Evidence edition for Food and Agrifood Systems: risks and capability. It is a cross-reference, not a copy, and it is a draft in stewardship review.

GCRI edition, chapter 4

4.3Contribute to this chapter

How far finance and insurance are ready for the risks in scope: protection gaps, disclosure practice, portfolio readiness and the capacity of balance sheets, read on a ladder of evidence and never as advice or a rating. Material for this chapter goes to the GRA Capital Readiness desk; what belongs to another desk is forwarded, not refused.

The Alliance reads an edition for capital readiness: whether insurers, banks, investors and public finance can read a finding without distorting it.

If you price or allocate against these risks, send the case and say what you may disclose. The Alliance will cite the part you can share.
