Approved for Scoping: BF Members Meeting June 2023   Lead BF Member: ANR/AllEnvi/NTSC   Estimated launch timeframe: April 2025   Brief Summary:   Within the current context of increasing environmental risks, scientists and disaster experts have been working together for decades around communities such as the Society for Risk Analysis (SRA). The need is now to go one step further to better integrate the complexity of socio-environmental systems, so as to define, formalize and implement a holistic risk science.   This integration implies the theoretical roadmap of sustainability science, namely a trans-disciplinary approach that sums up knowledge and involves all concerned parties in the definition of adequate risk management solutions, but requires specific knowledge gaps to be addressed urgently.   Taking inspiration from the current pandemic crisis, this CRA aims at defining and promoting “new” risk management concepts that better account for global change and the transformations of the relations between societies and nature.   Within this holistic approach that expands the research conducted so far within the DR3 Collaborative Research Action of the Belmont Forum, this proposed CRA investigates the links between the vulnerability of socio-environmental systems in exposed territories and their capacity to converge to a resilient future.   Expected outcomes include risk science developments in line with a sustainability science perspective, co-production of knowledge from the different disciplines, their implementation on highly vulnerable territories for informed governance, and the rise of a new generation of scientists and stakeholders able to better cope with ever-rising environmental risks.
