„From Thoughts to Action“ by closely linking practice, science, policy and decision making in the search for sustainable solutions.

The Global Risk Forum GRF Davos is a newly established international organization based in Davos, Switzerland and aims, through its various activities, at serving as a Center of Excellence in knowledge and know-how exchange, transfer and application.

The combination of the world’s growing population with expanding urbanization and globalization has greatly aggravated the risk potential to all communities and nations. Climate change will dramatically worsen the situation. GRF Davos wants to address the variety of risks that face communities, from natural hazards to technical and biological risks, from pandemics to terrorism – all across different political institutions, national and international organisations, countries and business sectors.

GRF Davos reflects with its three pillars, the Risk Academy, the International Disaster and Risk Conferences IDRC and Workshops and the Platform for Networks, the necessity to create interaction and involvement between all key players, from line ministries and disaster, risk and safety management authorities to academic institutions, the private sector and the media.
