IPUR is convening a workshop to understand the role of scientific information (and claims) in consumers’ risk perceptions, judgments, and decisions/choices. Titled “Consuming (and Communicating) Risk-Related Information for a Better World”, the workshop is part of the 12th Triennial Invitational Choice Symposium held from 9-12 August, 2023, at the INSEAD Campus, in Fontainebleau, France.
IPUR has an assembled an international multidisciplinary team of domain experts to dive more deeply into the extant volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous (VUCA), and increasingly instantaneous information environment, how consumers navigate such an environment and engage with different types/sources of risk information in their decision-making, and how risk-related information can be more effectively communicated by researchers, experts, and policymakers, in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We shall focus on three goals most directly related to consumers’ daily risks and choices: SDG 3 (Good health and well-being), SDG 12 (Responsible consumption and production), and SDG 13 (Climate action).
Outputs from the four-day workshop are expected to come in the form of a policy report and publication. Find out more about the workshop here.
