Over the last two decades, there has been an increase in the
number of natural hazards which have culminated in catastrophic
consequences, severely impacting on people and livelihoods. In
response to this escalation, the Swiss Natural Hazards Competence
Centre (CENAT) organized a workshop entitled "RISK21" at the Centro
Stefano Franscini, Monte VeritA, Ascona, Switzerland from 28
November to 3 December, 2004.
More than 50 risk experts from nine countries participated,
drawn from research institutions, private industry, governmental
agencies and non-governmental organizations. The workshop focused
on different aspects of risk management, highlighted current
drawbacks, and discussed possible ways of reducing disaster risk.
The themes addressed included economic, technical and social issues
related to disaster impact, risk analysis and assessment, risk
perception and aversion, risk dialogue and sustainable risk
management.
