A risk conundrum can be viewed as a risk that poses major issues in
assessment, and whose management is not easily engaged. Such
perplexing problems can either paralyze or badly delay risk
analysis and directions for progression. Rather than simply
focusing on the progress in risk analysis that has already been
made, it is crucial to consider what has been learnt about these
seemingly unmanageable problems and how best to move forward. Risk
Conundrums seeks to answer this question by bringing together a
range of key thinkers in the field to explore key issues such as
risk communication, uncertainty, social trust, indicators and
metrics, and risk management, drawing upon case study examples
including natural disasters, terrorism, and energy transitions. The
initial chapters address risk conundrums, their properties, and the
challenges they pose. The book then turns to a greater emphasis on
systemic and regional risk conundrums. Finally, it considers how
risk management can be changed to address these unsolvable
conundrums. Alternative pathways are defined and scrutinized and
predictions for future developments set out. This book will be of
great interest to students and scholars of risk governance,
environmental policy, and sustainable development.
