However, the ways in which these safety risks are currently assessed and managed fall short in addressing the uncertainties of future threats. The WRR, the official think-tank for the Dutch government, argues that in order to ensure future-proof safety policies, a new paradigm should be adopted. This paradigm is based on the precautionary principle, i.e. the notion that the vulnerability of humans, society and the natural environment requires a proactive approach to uncertainties. In this report, the Council suggests ways to embody this principle in both private and public law and in various institutional arrangements.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alinda Lamein\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9089641815\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789089641816\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/08\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 178\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.38d","brand":"Alinda Lamein","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48136998125823,"sku":"9789089641816","price":66.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d1854cdb-bb62-4f58-8863-3c81ccd321b7.jpg?v=1770165862","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/uncertain-safety-alinda-lamein-9789089641816","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
