I’ve heard that the risk management field uses a set of terms to describe risks and their causes, such as hazard and vulnerability, and I think it would be beneficial for the x-risk community to adopt these terms in order to describe x-risks with more nuance. For example, this page lists hazard, threat, vulnerability, risk, and consequence/​impact. I would appreciate an explanation of the definitions of these terms and the differences between them.
Some of these (hazard, vulnerability, exposure) are discussed in the context of x-risks in this typology: https://​​www.sciencedirect.com/​​science/​​article/​​abs/​​pii/​​S0016328717301623 [open-access at https://​​www.researchgate.net/​​publication/​​324688255_Governing_Boring_Apocalypses_A_New_Typology_of_Existential_Vulnerabilities_and_Exposures_for_Existential_Risk_Research ]
Thanks! This is exactly what I was looking for!
