Risk Conundrums brings together a range of key thinkers in the field to explore key issues such as risk communication, indicators and metrics, and risk management, drawing upon case study examples including natural disasters, terrorism and energy transitions. Part I addresses risk conundrums, their properties, and the challenges they pose. In part II, the book turns to a greater emphasis on systematic and regional risk conundrums. Part III 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.

We live in a 'risk society' where the identification, distribution and management of risks, from new technology, environmental factors or other sources are crucial to our individual and social existence. This book focuses on the analysis and management of risk in society, in international business and multinationals, and globally.
