  How to be quixotically unreflexive: surprising results from climate change politics in Australia

  CSPO DC - New Tools for Science Policy

  Why we need Risk Innovation

  Our imaginations have become dulled to the novel and creative alternatives that are desperately needed to ensure the responsible development of an increasing array of technology innovations. Without innovation in how we think about and act on risks arising from the convergence between emerging technologies, we will find ourselves entering an uncharted and unregulated risk Wild West.
