Complex Risk Governance and Public Policy

The aim of this project is to explore the governance and public policy on “complex risk issues” posed by the interaction between physical phenomena (such as natural disaster) and humans’ social economic activities. The project deals with such issues mainly from a social science perspective but also by bringing together other disciplines, including natural science, and practical perspectives of those in government and business. Through collaboration, it looks at ways for socially-acceptable decision making and management. It also provides a platform to raise awareness and develop policy recommendations.
