Core element in the negotiation and construction of landscapes of risk (riskscapes) is not just anticipating the consequencs of human actions or events, but additionally judging the desirability and moral quality of these consequences and define the criteria for this judgement. An idea becomes crucial:
We are living increasingly in a world that changes not according to what has happend, but according to what is anticipated. That what may happen.
Both components – knowledge and values- play an important role for any vision and decision-making process independent of the issue and the problem context.
