The Global Risks Alliance (GRA)
Priorities of Reinsurance and Catastrophe shared across countries, and the methods used to compare them. A global programme is a shared agenda, not a claim of global offices.

The Reinsurance and Catastrophe global programme is the shared agenda of priorities in the insurance and catastrophe field that cut across countries, such as reinsurance structures and catastrophe loss data, with the methods used to compare them. It is an agenda, not a claim of global offices, and each element shows its status from the programme record.
For global industry questions, in GRA's spatial-finance reading, the map opens on night lights, population density and flood water with built-up and settlement extent from NASA GIBS, framed on the Gulf of Mexico coast; every other NASA layer, live feed and forecast waits in the layer list.
The interactive map needs JavaScript; the layer list and sources are below.

The global Reinsurance and Catastrophe agenda is global peak perils, read against IAIS, EIOPA and Lloyd's and market bodies.
These Reinsurance and Catastrophe questions are framed for catastrophe modellers, reinsurance underwriters and brokers' analysts and ILS fund risk teams, with scenario designs such as back-to-back events against reinstatements.
Programmes are listed as exploring, forming, constituted, active, paused or archived. Country and regional entries appear when a programme record supports them.
Each term as this page uses it. Where a standard-setting body defines the term, the wording follows that body.
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Programme | A group of related projects and activities managed together to obtain benefits that managing them separately would not, in the sense the Project Management Institute's programme standard uses. |
| Results-based management | A management approach in which everyone contributing to a set of results makes sure their processes, products and services serve those results, and measures progress against them, as the UN Development Group handbook sets out. |
| Theory of change | A stated chain of causes from a programme's activities to its intended outcomes, used to plan evaluation. |
| Catastrophe model | Software that combines hazard, exposure and vulnerability modules to simulate many possible events and estimate the distribution of insured loss. |

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.
