Rebutting some common ideas about risk

Professor Terje Aven is rebutting some common ideas about risk: “Risk is same as risk perception”, “Risk is adequately understood and characterized using quantification, probabilities and numbers”, “Resilience needs to be addressed beyond risk  –  resilience needs more focus than risk” and “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.   You can find a transcription here (pdf, opens in new tab).
