Risks and risk management in systems of international governance
In John Garrick (ed.) International Colloquium on Catastrophic & Existential Risk, University of California, Los Angeles, 2018
Abstract
International governance plays a crucial role in addressing global catastrophic risks like climate change, pandemics, and nuclear wars. However, international governance systems can also be a source of risk due to geopolitical tensions, uncoordinated actions, and inadequate funding. This paper outlines how these systems can support risk management and identifies ways they may fail. It emphasizes the importance of understanding and analyzing these systems to build broader research agendas for managing existential and catastrophic risks. – AI-generated abstract.
