Hardcover. Condition: New. This book titled Environmental Risk Management deals with the said subject in its totality. Risk management techniques are particularly well suited to identifying and assessing increasing environmental risk costs. While general managers often focus on the short-term the next quarter - risk managers are generally more focused on the long term. While general management often sees the precautionary principle as impeding development, risk management uses the principle as a critical strategic tool. As risk financers, insurers will be in the first line to absorb increasing environmental risk costs so they have substantial self-interest incentives to analyse the actuarial implications of ignoring the use of environmental risk management systems. Insurers can also provide risk managers and general managers with more precise estimates of these increasing environmental risk costs. Insurers as major capital investors will also need to incorporate future developments in environmental risk costs into their investment decisions. This book gives a simple and lucid exposition of the basic concepts, principles and practices of environmental risk assessment and presents the accomplishments of some latest thinking and research in this field of study. This book is eminently useful for the students pursuing under graduate and post graduate courses in environmental science.…
