1.1What this chapter will report
The exposures in scope and the capital that stands behind them, as public sources state them.
It answers the frame question "the question" in the terms of the Global Risks Alliance (GRA) Capital Readiness, so the Collection can set it beside chapter 1 of the other desks’ editions.
1.2Where the evidence sits now
The nearest material today is chapter 1 of the Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI) Systems Evidence edition for Critical Infrastructure and Lifeline Systems: the coupled system. It is a cross-reference, not a copy, and it is a draft in stewardship review.
1.3Contribute 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.
