Abstract: Abstract A systematic review of risk-related actions needs to start with an analysis of what major societal actors, such as governments, companies, the scientific community and the general public, select as risks and what types of problems they label as risk problems (rather than opportunities or innovation potentials, etc.). In technical terms, this is called “framing”. Framing in this context encompasses the selection and interpretation of phenomena as relevant risk topics (Tversky and Kahneman 1981; van der Sluijs et al. 2003; Goodwin and Wright 2004).
