What is risk reduction?

• A strategy whose goal is to eliminate the risk of loss by stopping the action or behavior that leads to it.
• A strategy that reduces risk by minimizing the chance that the loss occurs or reduces the value lost.
• A strategy where the risk of loss is shared with another person, entity or group.
• A strategy that accepts that the amount at risk is worth the risk taken or that the cost of risk mitigation is too high.

Risk reduction refers to a strategy or approach aimed at minimizing or mitigating potential risks or losses. This can be achieved through various means such as eliminating or stopping actions or behaviors that lead to the risk, reducing the probability or likelihood of the loss occurring, sharing the risk with another party or entity, or accepting that the potential loss is worth taking the risk or that the cost of risk mitigation outweighs the benefits. The specific strategy adopted may vary depending on the nature and severity of the risk involved.
