“…However, this case suggests neither: endangerment, rather than protection of those at risk, has become the endemic norm; and flood safety as the “public good” produced is exclusively enjoyed by communities within the Sny Levee District. Furthermore, this “public good” is likely to trigger the formation of even more public bads (De Graaf and Wiertz, 2019), where the rational race to build levees for protecting one's community aggregates into an undesirable zero‐sum societal outcome of compounding everyone's flood risk in a watershed comprising of ever‐higher levees. All these realities mark the beginning of many new risks harms, which can further toxify the effort to construct solidarity important for FRM in this watershed.…”

The normative dimensions of flood harm in flood risk management (FRM) have become salient in a milieu of extreme flood events. In this article, two types of flood harm will be discussed. They are namely, risk harm and outcome harm. Whilst risk harm suggests that risk imposition by structural FRM measures is a type of harm that can increase vulnerability and diminish wellbeing, outcome harm is manifested in deliberate flooding used to protect certain privileged communities at the expense of harming other less privileged ones. Risk-imposing parties are required to seek consent for imposing new risks. In contrast, outcome harm as deliberate flooding is far more pernicious and should only be exercised in extreme situations with ample provisions for restitution and recovery. The aim of this article is to foreground and examine these under-explored notions of flood harm in the FRM discourse and in tandem, to expand the normative dimensions of FRM in a milieu where difficult ethical choices abound.

“…Vedle globálních veřejných statků (goods) lze rovněž hovořit o globálních veřejných zlech (bads, Bodansky, 2012;Buchholz et al, 2018;De Graaf a Wiertz, 2019), jež jsou protipólem veřejných statků (neboli "dober"), a kterým je třeba bránit. Mezi ně patří ekonomické nerovnosti, mezinárodní zločin, korupce, ale i klimatická krize, environmentální degradace a samozřejmě i globální pandemie.…”

Governance of Global Common Goods in the Era of AnthropoceneThe overall impact of human activities on the Earth's system and its key elements such as biodiversity or climate is so great that the contemporary era is called the Anthropocene, where globalization is overwhelming and the global influence of human action equals natural processes. This brings about many problems of global nature that are difficult to solve as adequate governance of global common goods is not satisfactorily developed. The various historical and contemporary attempts to provide some form of governance at the global level are presented, including the concept of common heritage of mankind or community approaches. An important contribution represents the concept of global public goods that was espoused by many intergovernmental and international organizations, including the UN and the EU. The relationship with the global sustainable development goals and official development assistance is also mentioned.

“…Voor het verklaren van de gevolgen van beleid volg ik de aanpak van de sociologen Boudon en Coleman en de filosoof Elster, zoals toegepast in het boek van De Graaf en Wiertz (De Graaf en Wiertz, 2019). Zij zien elk maatschappelijk fenomeen, het macroniveau, als gevolg van gedrag en interacties op individueel niveau, het microniveau.…”

“…Deze mechanismen zijn van belang om te verklaren hoe het individuele gedrag op het microniveau gezamenlijk leidt tot uitkomsten op het macroniveau. Het zijn externe gevolgen van individueel gedrag: gevolgen die door het individu niet worden meegenomen bij een beslissing, maar die wel gevolgen hebben voor anderen en de maatschappij als geheel (De Graaf en Wiertz, 2019). Om een voorbeeld te geven: het idee achter gereguleerde concurrentie is dat doordat individuele verzekerden uit eigen belang kiezen voor de best passende zorgverzekering er signalen aan zorgverzekeraars worden gegeven met betrekking tot de prijs en de kwaliteit van de zorg.…”
