DESCRIPTION:Dr. Walter J. Ammann\, President Global Risk Forum GRF Davos\n
 The growing number of people on the planet\, coupled with globalization an
 d urbanization\, has greatly increased the risks to society\, to the inter
 national community as a whole including the private sector. The impact of 
 disasters is increasingly frightening. Climate change and land degradation
  will aggravate the situation. To cope with all these risks (like natural 
 hazards\, technical and biological risks\, pandemics\, terrorism\, etc.) n
 ew frameworks\, principles and strategies\, mechanisms and methods have to
  be found. The more complex the risk landscape gets\, the more necessary a
  collaborative global risk reward management process becomes. The presenta
 tion will focus on some of the today's most pressing risk patterns\,  high
 light some strategies on how to cope with these risks and disasters and gi
 ve some advice on current research needs.
