[MZZ49-P03] Risk transfer to the future
Keywords:Anthropocene, Risk
Consider an increase in carbon dioxide concentration from the perspective of risk management. Risk response is an effort to manage possible risks and avoid or reduce losses. Responses to risk include avoiding, reducing, transferring, and accepting risk.
Accepting risk is to accept the situation without taking any special action. No action has been taken against the rise in carbon dioxide concentration. Avoiding risk is the removal of the risk-causing factors themselves. Ideally, changing to renewable energy removes the risk potential by eliminating carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels. Reducing risk is to take action to reduce the potential for threats. For example, it controls carbon dioxide emissions to a level that can sustain a sustainable society. Transferring risk is a response to transfer the impact of loss due to risk to the outside. Insurance coverage and outsourcing of operations are typical examples of risk transfer. Since the increase in carbon dioxide concentration is a global phenomenon, there is no place to outsource on the earth. If the risk reduction is not sufficient, the increase in carbon dioxide concentration due to fossil fuels can be said to exploit the global environment in the future. The exploitation of the global environment of the future is the exploitation of young people today and young people of the future who have not yet been born in this world. They will carry the negative legacy of increasing carbon dioxide concentration due to economic activities so far. This risk response is exactly the risk transfer to the future. As a result of risk transfer to the future, there will be a new conflict of protests from one generation to another, such as Greta's protests, instead of the traditional demonstrations of community protests. The division between ages will continue unless an appropriate risk response is addressed to this anthropogenic global risk.
