12. PEDRR Partnership for Environment and Disaster Risk Reduction Core elements of Eco-DRR 1.Ecosystems provide multiple functions and services. 2.Ecosystems-based risk reduction is linked with sustainable livelihoods and development. 3.Sound environmental management is one element of DRR strategies. 4.Environmental management critical to addressing the risks associated with climate change and extreme events. 5.Integrating environmental approaches into disaster risk management requires multi-sectoral and multi-disciplinary collaboration. 6.It is essential to involve local stakeholders in decision-making. 7.Existing instruments and tools in ecosystems management provide an opportunity to integrate DRR considerations.
