The submissions below are answers in response to Question 8 in the online questionnaire, which asked “Have the correct strategic risks been identified or are there other significant risks that should be included?”.
More than 650 submissions were received, and below are the submissions from organisations who wished for their submission to be made public, along with anonymised submissions from private individuals.
The majority of the submissions confirmed that the risks identified in the Report are the correct ones, with Climate Change & Biodiversity emerging very strongly as the most important risk for the public, in terms of priority.
The final Report reflects changes to the narrative informing the risks on foot of the public consultation, including a change to the title of one of the Economic risks from ‘Loss of Competitiveness’ to ‘Risk of Overheating’ reflecting the risk that the economy could be approaching a point of overheating, in addition to risks to our competitiveness.
Many additional submissions emphasised risks that were already captured in the Report.
