Скачать или смотреть Case Study on Neonicotinoid Insecticides

In this video, Laura Drivdal, researcher at the University of Bergen, presents his RECIPES case study on neonicotinoid insecticides (in short: neonics), and explains how the Precautionary Principle has been applied, and contested, in the regulation of these insecticides. This case outlines scientific uncertainties and ambiguities regarding the effects of neonics on pollinators (but also other species), in addition to the diverging perceptions of the role of the Precautionary Principle. It also discuss how innovation and precaution may interact.

The RECIPES (REconciling sCience, Innovation and Precaution through the Engagement of Stakeholders) project aims to propose ideas on how to align the precautionary principle with the goals of innovation to ensure sustainable and safe solutions, while fostering social awareness and responsibility in the EU in research and innovation. The project is funded by the Horizon 2020 Framework Programme of the European Union under Grant Agreement no. 824665.
