Discourses of risk are a permanent feature of human societies. However, the ways in which risks are interpreted and negotiated are not static. As conditions change, so does the understanding of risks, as well as the approaches to manage them. In recent years, perceptions of global risks relate to environmental crises, technological transformations and geopolitical tensions. To address the emerging challenges of risk society, this chapter suggests the concept of lifelong learning is useful but needs to be redefined, beyond its hegemonic neoliberal framing, within the context of the global rise of populist politics.
