The framework of this paper is that of risk measuring under uncertainty which is when no reference probability measure is given. To every regular convex risk measure on $\mathcal{C}_{b}(\Omega)$, we associate a unique equivalence class of probability measures on Borel sets, characterizing the riskless nonpositive elements of $\mathcal{C}_{b}(\Omega)$. We prove that the convex risk measure has a dual representation with a countable set of probability measures absolutely continuous with respect to a certain probability measure in this class. To get these results we study the topological properties of the dual of the Banach space L1(c) associated to a capacity c. As application, we obtain that every G-expectation $\mathbb{E}$ has a representation with a countable set of probability measures absolutely continuous with respect to a probability measure P such that P(|f|) = 0 if and only iff $\mathbb{E}(|f|)=0$. We also apply our results to the case of uncertain volatility.
