Melbourne Centre for Behaviour Change – National University of Singapore Lloyd’s Register Foundation Institute for the Public Understanding of Risk: The Risk Quotient Conference

The MCBC will also be co-hosting a conference on Thursday 29 February 2024 with our colleagues from the Lloyd’s Register Foundation Institute for the Public Understanding of Risk (IPUR) at the National University of Singapore. Titled The Risk Quotient, this conference will explore how everyday risks are entwined with broader implicating risks such as natural hazards and health. Specifically, the dialogue will revolve around how the intersection of risks can be approached through behavioural science, resilience-building, decision making, and risk communication to address different societal issues. 

The conference will feature keynote speaker Professor Kathryn Bowen, Professor of Environment, Climate, and Global Health at The University of Melbourne and Deputy Director of Melbourne Climate Futures.
