How can we ensure that innovative products and solutions are fostered and encouraged when their impacts on human health and the environment are not fully known?
One of the RECIPES project’s aims is to understand and explain the differences in the application of the precautionary principle in 8 different case topics, in a way that reflects the particular context of the case and the arguments for invoking the precautionary principle.
The precautionary principle is supposed to enable decision-makers to adopt precautionary measures even if scientific uncertainties about environmental and health risks remain.
