Regulation of Risk provides comprehensive insight into regulation of risk in transport, trade and environment. Contributions provide national, regional and international perspectives on pressing questions: How is risk conceived in light of novel technological deployment, climate change, political upheaval, evolving geopolitics, and the COVID-19 pandemic? What legal tools such as contractual frameworks and governance structures are available to manage the changing landscape of risk? This book highlights the importance of dialogue and collaborative decision-making on risk between policymakers, institutions, societal stakeholders and the scientific community.

"The book...rightfully reflects the diverse and pluralist nature of risk....is eminently readable and provides interesting insights into each of the issues addressed. It is reasonable to conclude that the target audiences of advanced students in law and policy with interest in trade, transport, and environment, legal scholars, policy-makers, legal practitioners, and government lawyers will find well-considered arguments and thought-provoking ideas in the chapters within their scope of interest. The fact that the individual chapters are self-contained and available in open access format furthermore facilitates reaching these audiences."
