The OECD Futures Project on Risk Management Policies is a pilot project gathering OECD Member Countries willing to share their experiences in addressing major risks.

It was launched in October-November 2003 as a follow-up to the OECD Futures Project on Emerging Systemic Risks, which identified the most pressing challenges in risk management that OECD countries are expected to face in the twenty-first century.

For each participating country, the Project comprises two phases: the OECD Secretariat prepares one or several case studies on  risk management issues proposed by the country, following a common methodological framework; then, for those countries that are voluntary, the OECD Secretariat organises a review of risk management policies in the areas covered by the studies.
