A critical application of environmental risk management is in the development and appraisal of policy in central government and business. 

Policies are developed to manage environmental risks and selection of policy options must be informed by risk based tools and techniques. Doing so demands a comprehension of the technical, organisational and human elements of governing environmental risks and developing environmental policy. This course draws these themes together by introducing core concepts and then illustrating these concepts with case studies and finally application via a group exercise.
