The World Risk Poll provides us with a lot of very interesting information about how people perceive their risk internationally and we haven't had that so far. We need more widespread risk interventions across the world and we hope that the World Risk Poll will contribute to generating more action by policymakers, as well as encourage individuals to speak up and demand more action.

Seldom does one get a front row seat on the risk perceptions of almost 99% of the global population. The Lloyd’s Register Foundation World Risk Poll is a treasured evidence base that policymakers can use to design risk communication strategies that fit a country’s context and culture. That’s a game changer to create a safer world.
