Reviews / Votes

'In the Anthropocene, our tightly connected systems are strained by disasters, technological failures, geopolitical tensions and humanitarian crises. This book offers insights of how such Complex Unbounded Problems emerge, interact and cascade across systems, revealing the shared attributes and interdependencies that drive systemic risk. Importantly, it also provides a vital lens of hope, showing that effective action is possible through coordinated responses, the growing leadership of sub-national and civil society actors, and stronger collaboration across disciplines. By bringing these insights together, the book advances systemic risk assessment and strengthens our collective ability to anticipate and respond in an interconnected world.' -- Jana Sillman, University of Hamburg, Germany 'Climate crises compel a transformative shift in how we understand and govern risk. This work bridges innovation and equity-driven research, offering a clear roadmap to navigate the complex, unbounded risks shaping our future. It is essential reading for leaders, scholars, and communities shaping a resilient, just future.' -- Bapon Fakhruddin, Green Climate Fund, New Zealand 'The global risk landscape is becoming complex; risks are becoming interconnected and compounded and cascading hazards are becoming more frequent. Within such a context, this book is an important scholarly contribution which addresses the core issue of complexity of risks and practical risk management and mitigation approaches. A very timely and a must-read academic work with specific global examples.' -- Rajib Shaw, Keio University, Japan
