Abstract:

As an important technical tool in today’s economy and society, risk analysis has shown its significant application value in many fields such as energy, finance, natural disasters and emergency response. However, risk analysis has not been widely regarded as an independent science, and its related theories and methods are still scattered in different subject areas, lacking systematic integration and systematic development. In addition, the traditional risk analysis method based on probability and loss modeling is relatively narrow, and it is difficult to fully and accurately reflect the diversity and complexity of risks in modern society and system. In view of this, based on the new ideas and theories emerging in the field of risk analysis in recent years, the construction of a new interdisciplinary science of “risk science” is advocated. Through in-depth analysis of the connotation and development process of risk science, a systematic framework system of risk science is put forward, and the research progress and future trends are summarized in six sub-fields of risk understanding, risk identification, risk assessment, risk perception, risk communication and risk control. It aims to integrate cutting-edge risk management concepts, integrate knowledge and methods in the field of risk analysis and management, and then promote the construction of a more complete and systematic risk management system to cope with the increasingly complex and changeable risk challenges in this paper.

Key words: risk science, risk analysis, risk management
