Environmental risk analysis and management (146059)

Nositelj predmeta

Opis predmeta

Effective risk management is increasingly becoming recognized as a necessary condition for successful organizational performance. Consequently, the development of more systematic approaches to risk management is now a major concern across both the public and private sectors. Exposure to environmental risk affects farmers, agribusiness and society as a whole. All are subject to the costs and liabilities of environmental exposures. Decision makers and the public need reliable assessments of the consequences and probabilities of negative impacts on the environment.

Opće kompetencije

The module Environmental Risk Analysis and Management aims to develop the participants´ knowledge of a structured approach to deal with different risk and decision problems within the environmental field.
The Module focuses to develop knowledge about risk analysis methods with an emphasis on quantitative methods for risk assessment and risk management.
The Module follows risk analysis steps and covers the three main topics: Risk identification, risk analysis (focused on quantitative methods for risk assessment) and risk management.
The broad scope of the risk management explicitly recognizes the multi-disciplinary nature of most risk management issues and is concerned directly with the transfer and integration of concepts, techniques and best practice across different areas of application, environment in this case.
