What is Risk?

Risk is the potential future harm that may arise from some present action. It is often combined or confused with the probability of an event which is seen as undesirable. Usually the probability and some assessment of expected harms must be combined into a believable scenario combining risk, regret and reward probabilities into expected value. There are many informal methods which are used to assess (or to “measure” although it is not usually possible to directly measure) risk, and (for some applications) formal methods such as value at risk.
