Philosophy of Science for the Analysis and Management of Risks and Natural Resources 2026_RTT_DICA_1

Natural risk management and, more broadly, natural resource management are increasingly at the center of crucial decisions in contemporary society, including in the context ofadapting to climate change. Emerging at the intersection ofscience, society, and policymaking, the concepts of risk and adaptation encompass both an epistemic component linked to uncertain knowledge and an ethical component linked to potential negative impacts and value-based judgments: in this sense, the philosophical perspective becomes a fundamental support for the technical approach to the management of natural risks andresources. The expertise and tools of the philosophy of science enable us to integrate available technical tools in order to develop more comprehensive solutions that take into account the complexity and multifaceted nature of the problems themselves.
