Abstract

Starting from a definition of risk governance, the paper examines a number of environmental contingencies and crises where traditional risk assessments based on expert calculations and computer models proved inadequate. While the growing inclusion of uncertainty in scientific descriptions and forecasts is recognized, the tendency to express it in probabilistic terms is criticized because it fails to account for the complexity of natural phenomena and their interactions with human actions. The paper argues that contributions from different disciplines and other types of knowledge need to be integrated for improving disaster prevention and response. This implies a redefinition of the role of science in society as well as a general change of attitude, revisiting Descartes’ idea of humans as “masters and possessors of nature”.

In the official website of the Italian Civil Protection Agency, the Commissione Grandi Rischi (Major Risks Commission), short for Commissione Nazionale per la Previsione e Prevenzione dei Grandi Rischi (National Commission for Forecast and Prevention of Major Risks) is defined as the formal liaison structure (struttura di collegamento) between the National Service of Civil Protection and the scientific community. Its activities are of a techno-scientific and advisory type and include providing guidance in connection with the forecast and prevention of the different risk situations (attività consultiva, tecnico-scientifica e propositiva in materia di previsione e prevenzione delle varie situazioni di rischio).
