Multiple feedbacks between individual risks exist that have the potential to create cascades  and then to amplify systemic risks and impacts far beyond the level of individual RKRs . Scientific research, however, remains limited on whether such interactions would result in increasing or decreasing the initial impact, and hence risk severity across systems. Given the scope of this chapter on increasing risk severity, here we focus on assessing RKR interactions that lead to increasing risk. Drawing directly on RKR assessments , this section cites those assessments rather than primary literature. The arrows in Figure 16.11 are derived from a qualitative analysis by three authors of Chapter 16 of the material provided by chapters on KRs and RKR assessments , and do not result from any systematic and quantitative approach as done in some recent studies .
