Resumen de CODA: Risk and Uncertainty in the Past and Present

Mallory Hope, Lewis Wade, Gijs Dreijer

• This coda takes stock of the articles in the forum and subsequently draws some lessons from the articles on the question of how to deal with risk and uncertainty in the present. It argues that looking at how risk and uncertainty were perceived and dealt with in the early modern world allows one to envisage new solutions to deal with the major problems facing human society today, such as climate change.
