Climate and Earth systems in Reports
Climate, atmosphere, oceans, land and biodiversity are one coupled system: heat, water and carbon move between them, and a shift in one changes the hazard and exposure records of all the others. This page shows the series it feeds, the evidence behind it and how to contribute.

What this area brings to the editions.
Climate, atmosphere, oceans, land and biodiversity are one coupled system: heat, water and carbon move between them, and a shift in one changes the hazard and exposure records of all the others. This subsite holds the observation, projection, disclosure and alignment standards that let those records be read together with their provenance intact.
From Foundry evidence to the series.
The evidence, step by step, from the systems this area reads to the series it feeds.
How Climate and Earth systems reaches Reports: what it reads, how it reads it, the sealed cut and the series it feeds.
| Step | What happens | Source |
|---|---|---|
| 01 What it reads | Climate and Earth systems reads NXS-EOP (earth observation and digital twins) and The Global Risks Index (NXS-GRX): governed sources with their releases, never a value without its source. | |
| 02 The cut is sealed | Each quarter the evidence is sealed in one cut, so OBSERVED, REPORTED and ESTIMATED values stay apart and every edition can be rebuilt. | |
| 03 The series it feeds | The cut feeds Methods and Technical and Global Sector Risk and Resilience, from the Baseline Edition 2026 into the quarterly series. | |
| 04 Who decides | Decisions stay with the authorities that hold them, under their own rules; an edition informs a decision and never makes it. |
A teaching model of the evidence path, not a forecast and not a record of any run; the systems, methods and series named come from the registries. Sources: Climate and Earth systems in Reports (2026); Climate and Earth systems home (2026).
The series it feeds, and what backs each.
| Series | Foundry systems it draws on | Academy disciplines | Series home |
|---|---|---|---|
| Methods and Technical | NXS-GRX the methods, indicators and validation studies behind each product NXS-LAB (research, experiments and simulations) method comparisons under transparent test conditions NXS-NXQ (software, models and capability lifecycle) the fitness record of models and tools the methods use | Quantitative risk analysis and statistics Model risk and validation Risk indicators and composite indices | Methods and Technical series home |
| Global Sector Risk and Resilience | NXS-GRX one sector’s structure, dependencies and concentration measures NXS-EOP observed change in the sector’s assets and their surroundings | Trade, supply chains and geoeconomics Critical infrastructure and lifelines | Global Sector Risk and Resilience series home |
| Evidence Brief | NXS-GRX the evidence behind one question, with its strength and gaps NXS-POR (public, client and partner delivery) the public-safe release of a brief and its corrections NXS-DSS (decision cases and deliberation) what the evidence settles for the decision in hand | Research, evidence and the science-policy interface Risk communication and risk literacy Uncertainty and decision making | Evidence Brief series home |

Mirrors and harvest
The DOI is canonical. At release each signed bundle is also given an IPFS content identifier and a bloxberg anchor as mirrors; both are listed in the record once they exist. Zenodo exposes every record over OAI-PMH, and reviews and endorsements can arrive through COAR Notify where the repository supports it.
