Boosing Resilience Through Innovative Risk Governance - FlyerOECD Governance
OECD publication, to be launched on 5 May 2014, identifies measures to minimise economic and social damage and help economies recover rapidly after a disaster. It proposes a fundamental shift in risk governance, whereby risk management actors are encouraged, through appropriate incentives, to help boost resilience, rather than rely on government for post-disaster assistance.

Managing critical risks in this environment poses significant challenges for policymakers. The OECD High Level Risk Forum conducts research to help policymakers understand and identify critical risks, better anticipate them and mitigate their consequences.
Through partnerships, evidence generation and strategic frameworks, the OECD supports stakeholders in implementing cutting edge approaches to the multiple challenges of risk. Based on a whole-of-society approach, public and private sector actors discover ways to build greater resilience together and to rebound more quickly from
unanticipated shocks.
These activities are grounded in the OECD Public Governance cluster and are served by the Directorate for Public Governance and Territorial Development. More information can be found at www.oecd.org/gov/risk/

Global Risks 2014 - The World Economic Forumasafeiran
Objectives of the Global Risks 2014 Report:
The world faces risks that can be addressed only by
long-term thinking and collaboration among business,
governments and civil society. The Global Risks 2014
report aims to support this process by:
– exploring the nature of systemic risks
– mapping 31 global risks according to the level of
concern they arouse, their likelihood and potential
impact, as well as the strength of the
interconnections between them
– looking in-depth at the ways in which three
constellations of global risk – centred on youth,
cyberspace and geopolitics – could interplay and
have systemic impact
The Global Risks 2014 report highlights how global risks are
not only interconnected but also have systemic impacts. To
manage global risks effectively and build resilience to their
impacts, better efforts are needed to understand, measure
and foresee the evolution of interdependencies between
risks, supplementing traditional risk-management tools with
new concepts designed for uncertain environments.

Up the Ratios Bylaws - a Comprehensive Process of Our Organizationuptheratios
Up the Ratios is a non-profit organization dedicated to bridging the gap in STEM education for underprivileged students by providing free, high-quality learning opportunities in robotics and other STEM fields. Our mission is to empower the next generation of innovators, thinkers, and problem-solvers by offering a range of educational programs that foster curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking.
At Up the Ratios, we believe that every student, regardless of their socio-economic background, should have access to the tools and knowledge needed to succeed in today's technology-driven world. To achieve this, we host a variety of free classes, workshops, summer camps, and live lectures tailored to students from underserved communities. Our programs are designed to be engaging and hands-on, allowing students to explore the exciting world of robotics and STEM through practical, real-world applications.
Our free classes cover fundamental concepts in robotics, coding, and engineering, providing students with a strong foundation in these critical areas. Through our interactive workshops, students can dive deeper into specific topics, working on projects that challenge them to apply what they've learned and think creatively. Our summer camps offer an immersive experience where students can collaborate on larger projects, develop their teamwork skills, and gain confidence in their abilities.
In addition to our local programs, Up the Ratios is committed to making a global impact. We take donations of new and gently used robotics parts, which we then distribute to students and educational institutions in other countries. These donations help ensure that young learners worldwide have the resources they need to explore and excel in STEM fields. By supporting education in this way, we aim to nurture a global community of future leaders and innovators.
Our live lectures feature guest speakers from various STEM disciplines, including engineers, scientists, and industry professionals who share their knowledge and experiences with our students. These lectures provide valuable insights into potential career paths and inspire students to pursue their passions in STEM.
Up the Ratios relies on the generosity of donors and volunteers to continue our work. Contributions of time, expertise, and financial support are crucial to sustaining our programs and expanding our reach. Whether you're an individual passionate about education, a professional in the STEM field, or a company looking to give back to the community, there are many ways to get involved and make a difference.
We are proud of the positive impact we've had on the lives of countless students, many of whom have gone on to pursue higher education and careers in STEM. By providing these young minds with the tools and opportunities they need to succeed, we are not only changing their futures but also contributing to the advancement of technology and innovation on a broader scale.

1. RISK COMMUNICATION POLICIES AND
PRACTICES –
A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS ACROSS OECD COUNTRIES

2. Risk Communication
“Risk Communication is the exchange of
information with the goal of maintaining or
improving risk understanding, affecting risk
perception and/or equipping people or groups to
act appropriately in response to an identified
risk”(US DHS, 2008)
3. 1. Risk awareness could be higher:
– Loire river basin, France: 53% of CEO‘s with businesses located in flood zones unaware
of risks
– Low levels of awareness = low levels of resilience, i.e. maintaining function in case of a
disruption
2. Ineffective risk communication → under- or over-estimating risks
→ sub-optimal allocation, i.e. under- or over-provision of
protection against risks
3. Countries deem many risk communication measures ineffective,
yet continue applying them for lack of alternatives
Why is it important to address risk
communication?
There is value and opportunity for identifying novel risk
communication practices across countries and testing potential for
policy transfer!

Actors with formal responsibility for risk communication
However, other stakeholders can be
more systematically included in the
communication process
7. • A comprehensive all-hazards, transboundary
approach enhances national resilience and
responsiveness:
– Only half of responding countries have an all-hazards
approach
– Almost all respondent countries integrate notions of
trans-boundary risks
– Countries tend to communicate about risks in silos
• They utilise administrative department lines rather than
viewing issues horizontally
Fostering a comprehensive approach
GOOD PRACTICE highlight: Greece’s General Secretariat
for Civil Protection
8. Risk communication strategies are not as
forward-looking as they could be
• 58% of countries communicate about known
risks only
• 42% of countries integrate notions of complex ,
unknonw risks in their risk communications
• GOOD PRACTICE highlight: Queensland’s
“Harden-Up” Initative.

13. Inclusive risk communication
Relationships between message providers and
message receivers based on two-way
communication are the foundation of an effective
risk communication:
• 75% of responding countries have established
platforms for government authorities to
engage with citizens in a two-way and
interactive communication about risks
14. • Grounding risk communication in scientific evidence
is key to ensure quality and accuracy in risk
communication:
– 75% of countries confirm that this is the case in their
country:
• It is important to directly assess the impact of
different communication activities so to ensure their
effectiveness through continuous long-run learning
– 60% of countries assess the impact of risk communication
activities, but scarcely report results
Quality assurance
15. 1. Integrate stakeholders more systematically and effectively
2. Favour a multi-hazards approach
3. Increase the importance of communicating about risk prevention
4. Risk communication needs to become more inclusive and
interactive
5. Grounding risk communication in scientific evidence is key to
ensure quality and accuracy in risk communication
6. Information communication technologies, including social media,
could be further exploited

communication policies and practices
