Reports at Nexus Standards

Where every output of the Consortium’s programme is published, in every format, with its sources, its status and its corrections. Nexus Standards reports the progress of the open standards every edition is built on, and the country, industry and sector profiles that read risk against them. Standards are preparatory working drafts (2026); conformance is attestation, not certification.

Standards Progress

A 3D model of the Standards Progress desk: at its centre the desk’s own form, around it the 3 remit families on the base ring, the eight chapters of its edition frame standing on the middle ring, 4 intake conduits for what it accepts, 2 series rails above, 36 edition blocks on the outer arc (0 drafted, drawn solid; the rest in preparation, drawn as wire) and the GW-STD gateway at the front.

Static plate. The interactive model needs scripts and WebGL; the steps and the list of items carry the same content.

  1. Standards Progress

    State of the standards: adoption, conformance, crosswalks, domain and industry profiles. Reading role: standards reading (new).

    Source: integrations/wordpress/nexus-reports/data/federation.json · desks[3].reports, readingRole

  2. Remit

    The state of the Nexus Standards parts and of the external standards they adopt: adoption, conformance attested by those who apply them, crosswalks, and domain and industry profiles. The parts are preparatory working drafts (2026); conformance is attestation, not certification. Families in its remit: Global Systems, Global Sector Report, Exponential Technology Report.

  3. What the desk accepts

    Evidence that a body has adopted or applies a part, stated by that body. A conformance attestation, with what was checked. A crosswalk between a part and an external standard. A proposed clause or a comment on a part, for its docket.

  4. The eight-part frame

    Every edition of the desk follows the same eight-part frame as the other desks: 1. Where standards are needed; 2. Adoption findings; 3. Domain and industry profiles; 4. Conformance and assurance; 5. Change scenarios; 6. Readings from the other desks; 7. Standards work programme; 8. Crosswalks.

  5. Series

    The desk leads Methods and Technical (in the series registry), Standards Progress (proposed; not yet in the series registry).

  6. Editions in the 2026 cycle

    36 editions in the federation record: 0 drafted, 36 in preparation. Drafted editions are solid; editions in preparation are drawn as wire.

01Standards Progress

This desk’s editions: Standards Progress.

State of the standards: adoption, conformance, crosswalks, domain and industry profiles. Each edition is in preparation: its frame is set and chapter 6 carries the desk’s reading from the Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI) edition. They are parts of the Reports Collection 2026, compiled by GCRI Canada.

The Collection The open call: which desk takes whatThe cycle

Cycle dates are set by the editor. The Collection is released only after every desk edition in it is released. A desk that does not release in a cycle is listed as not in this cycle, never filled in by another desk.

02This desk

What Standards Progress reports.

Nexus Standards reads an edition for standards progress: what was adopted, what conformed, what crosswalks exist and what is still a gap.

Nexus Standards deposits adoption and conformance findings, crosswalks and profiles, packaged for machines as well as readers.

03Edition index

Every edition, every output, every format.

Filter by region, theme, year and the formats on this site. Each edition opens its outputs, where they came from and how to cite them. An edition is published only when it is deposited with its DOI; until then it stays in stewardship review.

Global Systems 2026

The State of Interdependent Risk, Readiness and Frontier Change, the global baseline.

Abstract

The world enters 2027 more than 1.4 °C warmer than in the late nineteenth century. 2024 was the warmest year on record at 1.55 °C and 2025 the second or third warmest at 1.43 °C; the eleven years 2015–2025 are the eleven warmest observed [1]. Natural disasters caused US$224 billion in losses in 2025, of which US$108 billion was insured, the sixth successive year above US$100 billion insured, driven by floods, storms and wildfires rather than one peak event [2]. Energy-related emissions reached a record 37.8 Gt CO₂ in 2024 [4]; about 673 million people faced hunger [7]; monitored wildlife populations fell by 73% on average between 1970 and 2020 [9]. This Baseline Edition fixes the reference state for the global water, energy, food, health and biodiversity system, maps the couplings through which shocks travel between regions and sectors, and sets the questions the 2027 global edition will answer from national, regional and sector evidence. It ranks no country. It establishes where the evidence stands, what remains uncertain and what to watch.

Headline finding

REPORTEDNRF-GLOBAL-SYSTEMS-2026-BASELINE-FIN-003

Insurers covered about 48% of the US$224 billion in natural-disaster losses in 2025, about 70% in North America, about half in Europe, about 12% in Asia and under a fifth in Africa.

Implication

The protection gap is widest where exposure is growing fastest and fiscal space is thinnest. Uninsured losses become household debt, delayed reconstruction and pressure on public budgets, which feed back into vulnerability before the next event [2] [13] [18].

05Read the record

One coupled system, every edition, every finding.

One coupled system, read from the planet to the country.

Every edition reads the six-sector nexus of the estate doctrine (water, energy, infrastructure, food, health and biodiversity); the 2026 baseline assesses five of them, and the twenty couplings between those five, at its own scale. Infrastructure couplings are not yet assessed in any edition. Read together, they show where shocks travel, where they loop back and amplify, and where national context changes the picture.

Reinforcing loops on the six-sector hexagon (Infrastructure is not yet assessed in any edition): 3 pairs rated strong in both directions in at least one edition
Line weight: the share of editions that rate both directions strong. Method: a causal-loop reading of each edition’s coupling matrix (Sterman, Business Dynamics, 2000). Strengths are ◆ ESTIMATED; a loop here is structural, not a measured feedback.

Where a shock enters one system of a loop it returns amplified through the other; these are the pairs the 2027 stress tests read first. Pairs not listed carry at least one direction rated moderate or weak in every edition.

The other 17 couplings carry the same strength in all 11 editions. Strong everywhere: WAT → FOO, WAT → BIO, ENE → FOO, ENE → HLT, FOO → HLT, FOO → BIO, BIO → WAT, BIO → FOO. Strengths are programme estimates (◆ ESTIMATED) from cited evidence and analogue events; a word, never a score.
