Rebutting some common ideas about risk

Professor Terje Aven is rebutting some common ideas about risk:

  1. “Risk is same as risk perception”,
  2. “Risk is adequately understood and characterized using quantification, probabilities and numbers”,
  3. “Resilience needs to be addressed beyond risk  –  resilience needs more focus than risk” and
  4. “Generic risk science knowledge and guidance are not so important, what matters are the practitioners’ experience and understanding of risk.” 

 Host: Associate Professor Marja Ylönen.
