Environmental risks

Introduction

Managing environmental risks is key to safeguarding ecosystems, human health and sustainable business operations in a changing world.

At Wageningen University & Research, we specialise in assessing and managing environmental risks — from chemical contaminants and emerging pollutants to ecosystem stressors and supply-chain vulnerabilities. Our team develops models, runs experiments and provides consultancy to interpret the behaviour of compounds in soil, water and air and their impact on ecosystem and human health.

We support governments, industries and organisations in identifying risks, setting thresholds, and designing adaptive strategies that account for environmental complexity and stakeholder interests. Whether you’re dealing with pesticide runoff, water stress, circular economy residues or biodiversity loss, our approach links scientific rigour with practical relevance to help you move from risk awareness to risk action.
