For the Media:

You will learn how a risk assessment is designed by governments and industries, what options of management are available to the actors, what crises can mean to a company/organization, how acceptable and tolerable risks are defined, how better, sustainable and well documented decisions could be made, how other players have behaved in the past through interesting examples and case studies that can be used in your next analysis.

Humanity is facing and will face tough changes. In particular the elements of the global risk equation, which already seem, thanks also to media and informational pressures, to describe an ascending and worrisome trajectory, will change radically in the future (Financial Times, Special Report, Risk Management, May 1st, 2007). Among these changes we can cite:

Global climate change (natural hazards): both intensity/magnitude, probability and annual distribution of many natural hazards may change because of global climate change.
Higher air and water contamination (man-made hazards): increased population, industries, agro-industrial production are areas that may lead to increased pressure on eco-systems, contamination of soils, water and air as well as to the dissemination of modified substances and organisms.
Increase of population (human targets): larger cities, denser population mean higher number of exposed people, or small groups feeling they have to assume risks to make life in the cities more agreeable, thus fuelling turmoil and possibly eco-terrorism.
Increase in infrastructure value and density (physical targets): sophisticated and complex infrastructures and their networks are vital for the economy and social life, which increases in number and density all over the world.
Increase in pressure on medical and social organizations to apply more and more sophisticated and costly life saving techniques and devices (risk acceptability): acceptability levels are going down: any death is considered to be the result of someone’s mistake: the egocentric view of many industrialized (or soon to be) countries/societies leads to forgetting that we are not invincible, that not every single life can be saved, and that any attempt in that direction will inevitably fail because simply no society can afford that level of care.

To make better, sustainable and well documented decisions,

How other players have behaved in the past.
