Society for Risk Analysis World Congress on Risk III - Workshop (July 18-20, 2012 Sydney, Australia)

第三届世界风险大会（World Congress on Risk III）是2012年7月18日至20日在澳大利亚悉尼举行的一次国际会议，聚集了来自世界各地的风险分析师和从业人员。这是一系列世界大会中的第三届，这些大会是朝着风险分析、相关应用和研究人员、社区利益相关者和决策者的全球网络发展的系统性、重要步骤。2012年世界大会的主题是“变化世界中的风险与发展”。2012年大会的具体目标是：（1）促进关于全球关注的风险问题的对话和学习;（2）分享关于世界不同地区使用的分析方法和决策过程的见解;（3）展示和传播风险评估和管理方面的进展;以及（4）在全世界的专业组织和个人之间建立桥梁，以促进教育，并在关键用户网络之间传播以科学为基础的风险管理做法。国家科学基金会的支助是帮助来自美国的初级学者和来自发展中国家的学者参加大会。 风险评估和管理是一个研究领域，提供基于科学的概念，工具和过程（来自研究和实践），决策者，研究人员和社区利益相关者可以在公共和私人风险决策中使用。使用合理的风险分析方法对于人类健康和生计、环境系统、繁荣、可持续性和生存的明智选择至关重要。发展中国家面临着紧迫的挑战，特别需要更强的能力来采用良好的风险分析方法。第三次会议的主题重点关注在农业、粮食安全、技术、水污染和供应、空气污染、能源和气候变化以及减少灾害风险等领域对发展中国家具有重要意义的风险。

The World Congress on Risk III is an international conference gathering risk analysts and practitioners from around the world in Sydney Australia from 18-20 July 2012. This is the third in a series of World Congresses that are systematic, important steps toward development of the field of risk analysis, related applications and a worldwide network of researchers, community stakeholders, and decision makers. The theme for the 2012 World Congress is "Risk and Development in a Changing World". Specific objectives of the 2012 Congress are to (1) stimulate dialogue and learning on risk issues of worldwide interest, (2) share insights about analytic methods and decision processes used in different regions of the world, (3) demonstrate and disseminate advances in risk assessment and management, and (4) build bridges between professional organizations and individuals worldwide to facilitate education and to transfer science-based risk management practices across key user networks. NSF support is for helping junior scholars from the United States and scholars from developing countries attend the Congress. Risk assessment and management is a field of research that provides science-based concepts, tools, and processes (derived from both research and practice) that decision makers, researchers, and community stakeholders can use in public and private decision making about risk. The use of sound risk analysis methods is crucial for intelligent choices about human health and livelihood, environmental systems, prosperity, sustainability, and survival. Developing countries face urgent challenges and are particularly in need of stronger capacity to employ good risk analysis methods. The theme for the third conference focuses attention on risks of importance to developing countries, in such domains as agriculture, food safety, technology, water pollution and supply, air pollution, energy and climate change, and disaster risk reduction.
