The precautionary principle is a guideline for decision making.
Some human-induced changes can lead to large or even catastrophic
consequences, so those responsible for the change must prove that
it causes no harm before proceeding. Objectors do not have to prove
that there will be harm. This is a reverse of historical practices
where those opposing the change had to prove its harmful effects to
prevent the change from going ahead.
