Finding out about disaster risk
Risk targets
Climate risk perceptions and policy ambition
This article investigates the factors which influence national climate change policy ambition, as they are reflected in states' commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in United National Climate Change (UNFCCC) negotiations. The paper specifically investigates the relationship between policy ambition and public perceptions of the threat posed by climate change employing a 140-country nationally representative dataset of risk perceptions co…
Open Water
The paradox of trust
Public trust in the authorities has been recognised in risk research as a crucial component of effective and efficient risk management. But in a pandemic, where the primary responsibility of risk management is not centralised within institutional actors but defused across society, trust can become a double-edged sword. Under these conditions, public trust based on a perception of government competence, care and openness may in fact lead people to…
Urban water security indicators
Water security is widely recognised as an important and increasingly urgent policy challenge. To address this challenge, appropriate indicators are needed to stimulate policy action and measure the effectiveness of interventions. Indicators are more likely to have an impact on policy formulation when they are valid, credible and salient. This paper applies a co-production approach to develop a set of Urban Water Security Indicators which aim to m…
Designing effective water policy
Designing effective water policy in developing countries is challenging for many reasons, including limited capacity to formulate and implement policy. This paper examines major water policy reforms in two exemplary cases, Malaysia and the Metro Manila region of the Philippines, considering the quality of regulatory design and how this relates to policy capacity. The paper identifies ways in which policy design can anticipate challenges associate…
Regulating government-owned water utilities
Embracing Uncertainty in Policy-Making
Recent research on policy-making under uncertainty in the water sector has contributed to our understanding of types and sources of uncertainty as well as to the development of tools and approaches to manage uncertainty. This paper reviews the literature and identifies several strands of systematic bias, notably an emphasis on natural sources of uncertainty over human sources; a tendency to treat sources of uncertainty as independent and a corres…
