It is an honour taking up this important role as the President of the Society for Risk Analysis. As only the third European to have been elected into this role, I plan to make the Society more international in focus during my presidency and spread the importance of promoting risk science - which is certainly needed in everything from climate change, to the COVID-19 pandemic and the European Green Deal.
