The Government has released the new National Risk Register today, which looks at the major risks facing the UK.
The risks that meet the threshold for inclusion in the NRR would have a substantial impact on the UK’s safety, security and/or critical systems at a national level. The NRR includes information about 89 risks, within 9 risk themes – although several risks could be categorised under more than one theme. These are:
- Terrorism
- Cyber
- State threats
- Geographic and diplomatic
- Accidents and systems failures
- Natural and environmental hazards
- Human, animal and plant health
- Societal
- Conflict and instability
The NRR assesses the likelihood and impact for each risk.
