[email protected] The world faces
major threats to the sustainability of our planet. These threats
are accompanied by the immediate dangers of natural and man-made
disasters. Our vulnerability to them is greatly magnified with each
passing year undermining our ability to maintain a sustainable and
productive world into the 21st Century and beyond. Both history and
common sense teach us that science has a tremendous potential to
find ways to cope with these threats. 1 The EUROSCIENCE working
group "Science and Urgent Problems of Society" 2 and the IUGG
Commission on Geophysical Risk and Sustainability were initiators
of the EUROSCIENCE - IUGG Advanced Research Workshop "Science for
Reduction of Risk and Sustainable Development of Society" sponsored
by the NATO Science Program. The Workshop was held on 15-16 June
2002 in Budapest, Hungary. More than 40 participants from 17
countries took part in the Workshop. Talks and discussions
addressed mainly the question of how science can help in reduction
of risk and sustainable development of society.
