WELCOME TO THE INTEGRATED RISK GOVERNANCE PROJECT!

IRG-Project proposes an international research effort to learn how to deal with risks that exceed human coping capacities. 

This effort shall use key insights developed by researchers operating in the framework of IHDP, as well as in other settings. We will study risk occurrences as events in the dynamics of socio-ecological systems. We will focus on the entry transitions by which a given socio-ecological system switches into emergency or crisis mode, e.g. in dealing with a hurricane or a financial collapse, and the exit transitions by which the system switches back from emergency or crisis mode to a normal mode. read more

GLOBAL SYSTEMS DYNAMICS AND POLICY

Some of our work in the years to come will be carried out in the scope of a global research effort called GSDP - ‘‘Global Systems Dynamics and Policy‘‘, an initiative to develop a research program linking complexity and sustainability in an on-going dialogue with decision-makers.
