An Australian policy framework for systemic assessments of emerging risks

在澳大利亚的背景下，该项目将确定正在增加自然灾害、技术事故、传染病、与恐怖主义有关的风险和食品安全风险的主要驱动力（例如全球化、全球气候变化、人口老龄化、基础设施互联性增强）。该项目还将确定需要更多研究的风险评估方面的知识差距并确定其优先次序。风险评估政策框架的最终报告将帮助许多司法管辖区的决策者，并帮助研究机构和研究资助机构在保护澳大利亚方面做出更有针对性的努力。

The project will identify, in the Australian context, the main driving forces (eg globalisation, global climate change, an ageing population, increased interconnectivity of infrastructure) that are increasing risks for natural disasters, technological accidents, infectious diseases, terrorism-related risks, and food safety. The project will also identify and prioritise gaps in knowledge regarding risk assessment that require more research. The final report on a policy framework for risk assessment will assist policy makers in many jurisdictions and assist research agencies and research funding agencies in achieving a more focused effort in safeguarding Australia.
