Cover of Timothy O'Riordan: Interpreting the Precautionary Principle (PDF)

Viewed from the perspective of environmental management, this study describes the implications and applications of the precautionary principle – a theory of avoiding risk even when its likelihood seems remote. This principle has been employed in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the North Atlantic Convention, yet it is not widely understood. This study examines the history and context of the principle, and its applications to law, governmental policies, business and investment, scientific research and international relations.
