Context 1
Hong Kong has been rocked by protests since the early part of June, many of which have ended in violent clashes between police and protesters.
The protests were initially focused against a bill that would have made it possible to extradite people from Hong Kong to China, where the Communist Party controls the court.
The bill has since been shelved, but not dropped from parliament.

Context 2
In addition to demanding for Carrie Lam, their Chief Executive’s resignation, Hong Kong protesters have the following demands:
1. Complete withdrawal of the proposed extradition bill
2. Government should withdraw the use of the word “riot” in relation to the protests.
3. The unconditional release of arrested protesters and all charges against them dropped.
4. An independent inquiry into police behaviour
5. Implementation of genuine Universal Suffrage.

For eg. A policy aimed to reduce Green House gas emissions, could have co benefits of number of lives saved, due to a reduction in premature deaths from air pollution. However, no research can be exactly sure about how this approach will play out in the future.

A measured approach is one where the quantity of pollutants can be measured but the number of premature deaths cannot be predicted. Currently, most researchers use the measured approach.
