(Mis)calculated Risk and Climate Change: Are Rating Agencies Repeating Credit...Sustainable Brands
The document discusses the financial risks posed by climate change and how credit rating agencies may be failing to properly account for these risks in their methodologies. It notes that current climate change trajectories could lead to over 4°C of warming by 2100 with disastrous impacts. However, 193 countries have committed to limiting warming to below 2°C, indicating climate change trajectories are dynamic. Shifting from a 4°C path to a 2°C path risks stranding fossil fuel assets and creating a "carbon bubble." The financial risks of physical climate impacts and constrained carbon demand are not adequately addressed in rating agency methodologies, exposing them to potential liability just as during the credit crisis when their ratings failed to capture housing market risks.

Effect or Risk Management Methods on project performance in Rwandan Construct...Sibo Kanyambari Aimable
This document provides an overview of a research project that aims to assess the effects of risk management methods on construction project performance in Rwanda. Specifically, it examines a multi-storey building project by the Rwanda Social Security Board (RSSB). The research design involves interviews and questionnaires with the project team to understand how risks were managed and their impact on project objectives. A literature review and analysis of RSSB project documents will also be conducted. The research seeks to evaluate how different risk management approaches like avoidance, control, retention and transfer influence project success. Findings may help identify barriers to effective risk management in the Rwandan construction industry.
This is a brief article that describes the evolution of Enterprise Risk Management as a key functional area in large organizations over the past 30 years.
The document discusses risk assessment in laboratory settings. It explains that risk assessments are important to evaluate potential hazards of experiments and activities. Employers must analyze what could go wrong, the likelihood, and consequences to implement safety precautions. Risk assessments cover procedures, work environments, and substance handling, storage and transportation. Regulatory agencies inspect risk assessments to ensure compliance with health and safety laws and encourage improved safety practices.
The document discusses risk management in the public sector. It defines risk as the uncertainty of outcome, whether positive or negative, of actions and events. It describes evaluating risks based on likelihood and impact. Challenges for the public sector include increased complexity, partnerships, expectations and media attention. Risk management must consider strategic, operational, financial, behavioral and other categories of risk. Performance reporting should include risk information.

This document provides a summary of a report that analyzes the disruption of the transportation and oil industries expected between 2020-2030 due to the rise of autonomous electric vehicles (A-EVs) and transport-as-a-service (TaaS). It finds that TaaS, which involves on-demand access to autonomous fleet vehicles, will be dramatically cheaper than individual car ownership and provide 95% of passenger miles traveled in the US within 10 years of regulatory approval of AVs. This disruption will save American families over $5,600 per year on transportation costs, boosting the economy. However, it will also decimate the auto manufacturing industry and significantly reduce oil demand and prices.
This document provides an overview and analysis of the Global Risks Report, which identifies and assesses global risks.

This document provides a summary of a report that analyzes the disruption of the transportation sector between 2020 and 2030 due to new transportation models like transport-as-a-service (TaaS). The report predicts that TaaS, which involves on-demand autonomous electric vehicles owned by fleet operators rather than individuals, will grow rapidly due to significant cost savings for consumers compared to car ownership. By 2030, 95% of passenger miles in the US will be served by TaaS. This will severely impact the auto and oil industries by reducing sales and demand, but will also generate large economic benefits through consumer spending and productivity gains amounting to trillions of dollars. The disruption will be driven primarily by economics and systems
EFFECTS OF RISK MANAGEMENT METHODS ON PROJECT PERFORMANCE IN RWANDAN CONSTRUC...Sibo Kanyambari Aimable
Risks are very common in construction sector. Risk is the Possibility of suffering loss and the impact on the involved parties. According to APM (2006), all projects are inherently risky because they are unique, constrained, complex, based on assumptions, and performed by people. As a result, project risk management methods must be built into the management of projects and should be used throughout the project lifecycle.
Many construction projects fail because organizations assume that all the projects would succeed and they therefore do not identify, analyze, and provide mitigation or contingencies for the risk elements involved in the project.
Society desires that all projects should be performing and has become less tolerant of failure (Edwards and Bowen, 2005). Pressure is exerted on project managers to minimize the chance of project failure. This increasing pressure for performance which suggests that it is prudent for anyone involved in a project to be concerned about the associated risks and how they can be effectively managed.
Traditionally, performance of a project is analyzed on the criteria of quality, budget and time of completion. Two more criteria to determine the performance of a project were added by Kerzner (2001). Firstly, the project would effectively and efficiently manage risks and, secondly, it should be accepted by the customer.
It is known that the cause of the projects failure can be directly related to the extent of risk management methods undertaken. Besides, the level of risk management methods undertaken during project lifecycle impacts directly on the performance or otherwise of the project. Furthermore, using risk management methods effectively to manage risk should be continuously undertaken throughout the project lifecycle to enhance project performance. Risk management methods are thus an important tool to cope with such substantial risks in projects performance.
The main objective of the enquiry work that underpins this research is to investigate the effect of risk management methods on project performance. In this paper, a case study of RSSB multi-storey already executed project is considered.
module1.disaster risk reduction and management plans and strategiesaldrin barnizo
The document discusses disaster risk reduction and management (DRRM) plans and strategies. It begins by defining DRRM and emphasizing the importance of DRRM in Asia and the Pacific region. It then provides reasons why DRRM should be a priority in the Philippines due to its geographical location, status as a developing country, and the need to build more resilient communities. The document outlines key principles of DRRM plans, elements of DRRM plans including assessment, design, and implementation, and emphasizes community-based approaches. It provides details on components of community preparedness plans such as community profiles, risk assessments, early warning systems, and emergency response protocols.
This document discusses the importance of green banking in India. It argues that banking institutions can play a key role in promoting environmentally sustainable investment and development by incorporating environmental factors into their lending decisions. The document outlines how banks' credit decisions can influence industry practices and force companies to invest in environmental management. While green banking can benefit banks, businesses, and the economy, the document notes that Indian banks have not yet taken many initiatives in this area despite their influence on India's growing economy. It suggests policy measures to promote green banking in India.
The Importance Of Environmental QualityAmanda Brady
The document discusses environmental inequalities in urban environments. It argues that while environmental inequalities exist in France, there is a lack of political will to address the issue. The country's historical technical and normative approaches to the environment have hindered recognizing these inequalities. International approaches that link social and environmental issues could provide alternative frameworks for understanding environmental justice. Overall, the document examines how France can better identify and address environmental inequalities in cities.
Oil and gas exploration is known to be highly risky and cost-intensive projects that require capital investment decisions that are evaluated all the way from initiation of upstream explorations through midstream and downstream activities (Inkpen and Moffett, 2011). Risks in a project are an uncertain occurrence that can have a negative or positive impact (i.e. opportunities and threats) on ‘project objectives.’ The risk in a project also includes proactive management of all stakeholders involved that can have an impact on these goals, positively or negatively (PMBOK® Guide, 2013).
This document provides an impact assessment framework for evaluating small and medium enterprise (SME) finance policies. It discusses why impact evaluations are important for assessing SME policies and programs. The framework covers both experimental and non-experimental evaluation methods that can be used, including randomized control trials, difference-in-differences, instrumental variables, regression discontinuity, and propensity score matching. It provides examples of evaluations using these various methods and discusses operational considerations like budget, timing, and choosing the appropriate method. The goal is to help policymakers assess and improve SME interventions to maximize their effectiveness.

This document provides an overview of principles, tools, and practices for building urban resilience. It discusses how cities face increasing disaster risks due to urbanization and climate change. Building resilience requires flexible, dynamic approaches that consider long-term trends, uncertainties, and worst-case scenarios. The document outlines guidance on risk assessment, risk-based land use planning, social resilience, ecosystem management, and enhancing resilience in key infrastructure sectors like water, energy, and transportation. The overall aim is to help decision-makers mainstream disaster risk management into urban planning and investments.
The environmental impact statement analyzes the proposed construction of a new recycling center in a rural area. It addresses land use and zoning requirements, potential environmental impacts, and mitigation plans. Key impacts include increased traffic, noise pollution, and potential water and air pollution from operations. The statement outlines plans to minimize impacts, such as strict emission controls, traffic management plans, and monitoring programs. The recycling center could help increase recycling rates but operations must be carefully managed to limit environmental effects on the local community.
Preparedness in cities and other urban settlements is critical for effective local, regional, national and global responses to COVID-19. A well-designed pandemic plan in urban settlements allows to respond in a flexible way to varying levels of severity and to refine your response as needed. Education, housing, work, socializing and community kinship shapes the way we live, strive and thrive in cities. Population density is not the only parameter to be blamed for the pandemic in developing countries. The type of housing - township, apartments, independent houses, make shift homes, informal settlements, redevelopment buildings and slums also are a key parameter that hinders controlling the spread or transmission of outbreak. The way we live – sanitation, hygiene, food habits, our environment, transport, connectivity, our social outlook and approach also are detrimental and have a direct bearing for the outbreak to spread to the extent of being a pandemic.
Social License | How people can stop projectsAdvisian
Large resource developments have created a paradox – people want investment in their communities, however, there is uncertainty around long-term environmental and social effects. This uncertainty can stop a project in its tracks. Advisian's Mary-Lou Lauria discusses what this means, the causes and outcomes and what can be done to obtain community acceptance.

Risk management in my own community
In my community, Community-based risk management refers to the strategies adopted by households to mitigate the impact of shocks and cope with risk. Risk can be classified as idiosyncratic, meaning one household’s experience is typically unrelated to neighboring households’, or covariate, meaning that many households in the same locality suffer similar shocks.
Key Concepts
• A local area might be exposed to a number of disaster risks. It will be necessary to understand the nature, and impact of these disasters in order to better prepare for future;
• A range of social groups may exist in a district, municipality or commune. The vulnerability of different groups may differ from each other. It is important for local authorities to understand the reasons for vulnerability of different groups;
• The communities, local authorities and civil society groups may have multiple resources and capacities to deal with disasters; e.g. indigenous knowledge, policies, disaster reduction programs, technical institutions, machinery and equipment, and social networks;
• Local authorities must identify the challenges faced and lessons learnt from the past experiences of responding to disasters;
Impact of Social Risks on Indian Businesses - Final ReportNamit Agarwal
The document analyzes the impact of social risks on Indian businesses. It defines social risks as negative impacts on individuals, groups or societies from corporate actions. Through stakeholder interviews and surveys, the report identifies the top social risks as non-compliance with health and safety regulations, destruction of biodiversity, and environmental degradation. It finds that while companies acknowledge social risks, formal processes for managing these risks are still lacking. The report concludes that private and civil society collaboration is needed to develop solutions that build resilience to economic, social and environmental issues.

The Construction Industry Has A Huge Impact On The...Michelle Davis
The document proposes a cost-benefit analysis of an apprenticeship program. The program would provide job training through apprenticeships with participating businesses. Businesses would receive a tax credit covering 50% of apprentice wages for 1-5 years. The analysis would calculate average costs based on similar existing state programs. It would also assess total social costs and benefits from the perspectives of all stakeholders - apprentices, employers, sponsors, government agencies, and society. The goal is to determine if the program provides net benefits to stakeholders and society.

3. Executive Summary
“It takes many good deeds to build a good reputation, and only one bad one to lose it.”—
Benjamin Franklin.
Strong positive reputation attracts better people, better investment and provides ease of
conducting business. According to an HBR article 70% to 80% of market value comes from
intangible assets such as brand equity, intellectual capital and goodwill (Reputation and its risk,
n.d.)
We are bringing a new technology for our country backed by Japanese finances, USD 12
Billion of the estimated USD 15 Billion for this project, and technology. Japan International
Cooperation Agency (JICA) and Ministry of Railways (MOR) in their report of July 2015 do not
cover Reputational Risk.
I believe given the size of the project financially and the complexity involved in
maintaining the relations between 2 nations we should have thought about Reputational Risk.
Reputation is the belief or expectation of certain characteristic. With amount involved the
Japanese government will surely be looking this project as a stepping stone with respect to future
involvements. This project will not just affect the governments but will also impact the
reputation of the country in the World banks report of “Best places ranked by ease of doing
business”. Thus, it is necessary to understand the reputational risk and manage them. A response
plan should also be initiate if something does go wrong.
In the report I will touch upon the issues that can arise during and after the project which
will impact the Reputation of the board as well as the fall out will affect the whole country. As
with any risk Reputational Risk also has a negative as well as positive impact. Thus, a positive
Risk would be the reputation of the board, the government and the country as an investor
friendly nation will increase giving rise to better partnership venture in the future. This in turn
will increase the GDP and will have a positive impact on the whole nation. However, negative
risk completely gives the opposite result as cross country investors will be vary of the nations
bad reputation and will not freely invest in the country.
The main risks identified are Direct Risks, Tangential Risks and indirect Risk. These risks
are further divided into sub risks. Direct Risks will include the risks as the direct consequence of
the rail board such as environmental mishandling and mishandling of indigenous population.
Tangential Risk are the risks brought forth by related parties such as political parties, vendors
and issues related to products and customers. Finally, indirect risk are the risks associated with
the actions of employees.
The risk management plan would include manging these risks and preparing a response
plan. Direct Risks can be handled by careful consideration of choices the board will have. These
risks also have a set policy and procedures that are to be followed as a general guideline. Thus, to
manage these risks board must be careful about following these guidelines and procedures.
Tangential Risks Arise from the action or reputation of related party. Political Risk is the biggest
in this section wherein if the government changes and the new government does not think HSR is
the need of the nation it may pull back resource from it. The only way to manage this is to either
get all political parties on board or to directly know the nations pulse whether the majority think
HSR should be implemented or not. Vendor Risks can be handled by careful selection of vendors
who have good reputation in the business. Finally, issues related to products and customers can
be handled in different ways such as regular maintenance and decreasing the gap between
customer expectation and what we sell. Indirect Risks arise from the present and past employees.
4. To manage this a risk culture must be developed in the board where everyone is accountable and
responsible for reputation of the board. Guidelines on expected behaviours should be taught and
followed with a bottom up approach.
Finally, if there is an issue of Reputation One person should be made responsible for
planning and implementing a response. Although it is one person, he will be assisted by whole
organisation in handling an issue.
5. 1. Introduction
1.1. Purpose of the report
The report, Joint Feasibility Study for Mumbai-Ahmedabad High Speed Railway Corridor
Final Report Volume 6 published in July 2015 omits Risk management completely.
This is a new technology for the country in partnership with various private entities at
home as well as abroad. The involvement of number of entities give rise to many kinds of
uncertainty at all levels of implementation of project. One such major risk is Reputational risk.
However, the report has no mention of Reputational Risk. This report tries to identify, assess,
respond, monitor and record events which can impact the reputation of the Indian railways and
thus the Indian government since Railways is wholly owned by the Government of India.
The reputation of board is linked with the reputation of the country because it can impact
future projects not only with government but also with private entities in India. Thus, this can
negatively impact the Indian economy in future by limiting the investment of time, technology
and funds into the country. Furthermore, this can impact the country by creating an environment
of political instability, costing the nation the burden of elections before its due time. The large-
scale implications cannot be undermined and therefore, Reputation Risk should be managed
appropriately.
On the contrary as with every risk, we can expect positive implications such as increased
rate of investment, preferred partnerships and joint venture with Indian companies and increased
sharing of technology. This largely depends on how we handle the current billion-dollar project.
Therefore, creating a Reputational Risk strategy for the project is not only essential but also
critical in my opinion.
6. 2. Reputation risk
Reputation is an expectation of behaviour (RM Magazine, n.d.). The HSR project is
different in terms of its size and complexities. The project will have an impact on various
communities and environment. Also, the partnership between two nations increases the risk on
both sides.
Reputational value, which was earlier not measurable readily, manifests itself in the form
of lower employee cost and turnover, customers tolerance for pricing premiums and other
expenses (RM Magazine, n.d.). Thus, the reputational risk is critical for any organization since a
positive impact can make it more profitable and easier to operate. However, a negative impact
can affect the organization at all functional levels. Thus, it is important for the board to
understand the expectations of various stakeholders, communities and environment which will be
impacted by the project.
A comprehensive plan to manage such risk is more so necessary in todays hyper connected
world, where a small mistake by any party related directly or indirectly can impact the
functioning of the organization.
2.1. Risk analysis
The most important thing in risk management is to define the risk. Risk Definition for the
project can be defined as: it is the likelihood of an event which can have an impact positive or
negative and can alter people’s opinion and belief about the board. (Reputation Institute, n.d.)
1. Direct risk: determined as the consequence of the board’s action or decisions.
1.1. Environmental mishandling: the generation of Millenials are very sensitive to
environmental causes. As stated in the July 2015 report the HSR project will affect the
environment by deforestation, noise due to construction activities and operating HSR, changes
in underground water levels, air pollution, large scale migration (influx) and soil pollution
among others. These issues are very important from the point of view of the Millenials. This
generation will be the one who will use the HSR and thus any mishandling can cause a damage
to the reputation of the board and can impact the long-term success.
1.2. Mishandling of indigenous population: The route of the planned HSR has many
forests, inhabited by some indigenous communities. Their life will be disrupted by the
construction and operation of HSR. These communities if not managed correctly can turn
hostile and may not allow the HSR activities to continue.
2. Tangential risks: determined as a risk arising from the actions of various partners
2.1. Political risks: the projects as big as HSR are sometimes viewed as a “pet” project
of a political party. In a democracy any party can be elected, which increases the risk of other
party not continuing the project or not giving enough commitment for the project to complete
on time. The project is also financed by a country whose leader has cordial relation with
current Indian Leadership. Any change in this ratio will impact the whole project.
2.2. Reputation of vendors and suppliers: According to a deloitte report authored by
Laura Toni, third party relationships are emerging areas of risk with organization being held
7. accountable for the actions of their vendors and suppliers (Laura Toni, 2014). In the recent
time we have seen the fallout on companies because of fickle actions or statement by their
vendors or their vendors representative. Example of apple is prudent where news came where
the employers of the factory complained about harsh conditions (Bloomberg Technology,
2018).
2.3. Issues related to products and customers: The product that we are making is a
High-speed transportation. This is a first of its kind in our nation. There may be infrastructural
risks which will hamper the high-speed movement. If the board fails to provide what is
expected will dampen the reputation.
3. Indirect risks: risk arising due to actions of employees. Employees know about the
company better than the outsiders. If an employee speaks discouraging facts about the
project people tend to believe it more than the justifications provided. In todays
hyperconnected world any adverse feedback can become viral and pose a threat to the
project as well as to the projects reputation as well as reputation of parties involved.
2.2. Reputation Risk Management
First step to manage reputation risk is to assess where we stand currently. We must analyse
what is it that people and stakeholders expect from us. Continuous monitoring of changing
beliefs and expectations is also essential.
Type of Risk Sub Risk Management Strategy
Direct Risk
Environmental Mishandling
Strictly Follow the environmental Guidelines
available.
Manage the destruction by creating an opposite
action. For example, deforestation should be
matched by planting of trees.
Use appropriate safety equipment to handle
noise and vibrations during and after the project.
Publish and communicate to the general public
about the initiatives.
Mishandling of indigenous
Population
Communicate with them
Know what they want and expect.
Try to create a win-win situation.
As per the norms get the agreement from the
majority
8. Corruption
Ensure transparent procedures.
Leverage Technology for masking the applicant
from the selectors.
Do not make public the names of official who
will sign the contracts.
Tangential
Risk
Political
Get all the political parties on board
Organize a public referendum with regards to
the project. This will be a first of its kind in
India but will assure the smooth flow of the
project regardless of which party is in power.
Reputation of Vendors and
Suppliers
Strict control measures for selecting vendors and
suppliers.
Transparency in their selection.
Strict agreement, protocols and guidelines of the
expected standards and behaviours.
Issues Related to Products and
Customers
Benchmark the product and service quality.
Extensive employee training to handle customer
grievances with empathy and concern
Indirect Risk Actions of Employees
Creating a positive Risk culture across the
organisation.
Training.
Setting and communicating standards of
behaviour in public.
Rewarding correct behaviour. Identify and
retrain incorrect behaviour.
Increase accountability for actions.
For past employees make a Non-Disclosure
Agreement.
Apart from the above Management strategies, Communication is one of the most important
strategies. Communicating with the stake holder, employers and the general society is the most
important thing. The flow of information should be both ways. With social media emerging as
one of the greatest tools to take advantage, one should actively communicate to its stake holder
using these.
2.3. Crisis Management
Even after most careful consideration and implementation there can always be mistakes
which can snowball into a crisis. For such incidents we should have in place a crisis management
and response team.
As per an article authored by Bruce Condit, VP Allegiance Capital published on
www.inc.com there are 7 steps to crisis management. (Condit, n.d.)
a. Have a plan: define key objective of the crisis management. Ensure the key audiences are
kept informed.
b. Spokesperson: identify a spokesperson who will communicate and answer all questions.
This is especially important if the crisis puts threat to human lives (employee or public).
9. c. Be honest and open: we live in the times of trust issues. Therefore, it becomes essential to
be honest and open about the mistake that has happened. Being open and transparent
helps control rumours and thus decrease the chances of a media frenzy.
d. Keep employees informed: informed employees reduce the risk of internal rumour and
fallout. Uninformed employee may fall into the trap and post false reports online, which
would bring another crisis to the fore.
e. Communication to suppliers and customers: they are the key stake holders. Any crisis
information should be given to them by the organisation and not the news agencies. This
helps in building positive trust relations. Updating them at regular intervals should also
be done.
f. Update early and often: better to update the masses more often than allowing rumours to
spread. Todays hyperconnected world it should be considered making a summary report
every 24 hours and communicating it to all.
g. Social Media: The most powerful tool. Efficient use of social media should be planned.
Efficient team to monitor, post and respond to online posts should be made.
10. 3. Conclusion
As per Dr. Andrea Bonime-Blanc Reputation Risk cuts across all other risks. It attaches
and amplifies the effect of other risks (Bonime-Blanc, n.d.). thus, in todays hyperconnected
world with lots of trust issues in the general masses effective management of Reputation Risk is
essential.
Although, managing reputational risk is a difficult task, the simplest way to tackle it is to
be ethical in actions. This simple message should be propagated and made part of the
organisation culture and should be reiterated and reflected in company’s policies, procedures and
decision making.
