Explore The Concept Of Risk Through Discussion

Risk Commission closed

2008 was a period of step change at the RSA which saw the Projects team working to align all of its work more tightly in content and method to its contemporary mission; Citizens of the Future. This is a work in progress but at its heart asks the question of what kind of people do we need to be, if we are to create the world we say we want. This means addressing what we call the social aspiration gap - between the way we actually behave (not saving for example) and the life we say we want (a secure retirement) - as well as developing a much deeper understanding of human decision making and capacity (which we are doing through projects like the Social Brain and our Opening Minds work).

What is the Risk Commission?

The Risk Commission is an RSA project, created under the ‘encouraging enterprise’ manifesto challenge and chaired by Sir Paul Judge, that aims to examine and contextualise risk in our modern society.

 

We hope this website will provide a meeting ground for experts and lay people alike who have an expertise or a general interest in risk and its discourse. We intend to facilitate a dialogue for all; the experts, the public, the policy makers and the media.
