Plenary session II – RISK ASSESSMENT – Weighing Risk in Policymaking

Organised by: United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), International Science Council (ISC)

Venue: Ceremonial Hall, Pesti Vigadó (2nd floor)

Abstract: When scientists provide evidence to inform policy, evidence is only one component of the decision-making process. There are multiple competing risks, values and factors that inform policy. In a world of increasing geopolitical tensions and immediate risks to human and national security, communicating risk at the science-policy interface can be fraught.

Organised by: World Science Forum (WSF)

Venue: Ceremonial Hall, Pesti Vigadó (2nd floor)

Abstract: The implementation of the UN 2030 Agenda and the progress towards Sustainable Development Goals, adopted in 2015 by UN member states, is behind schedule as it was clearly shown in the halfway to 2030 Global Sustainable Development Report of 2023.
