National risk assessments of cross-border risks

This CSS Risk and Resilience Report provides a comparative analysis of national risk assessments. Specifically, it compares the assessments made by nine European countries and Swiss Re respectively of five types of cross-​border risks: electricity supply shortage, nuclear accident, pandemic, severe space weather, and volcanic outbreak.

The report finds noteworthy differences in their estimated likelihood and impact, even though the selected countries have correlated risk profiles for these hazards. The report also highlights a number of general considerations for national risk assessments and crossborder risks.
