The role of wetlands in ecosystem-based disaster risk reduction (Eco-DRR)

The WWF Environment and Disaster Team organizes bi-monthly continuing education seminars on topics related to environmentally responsible disaster management which serve as a space to share lessons learned and build a community of practice.

Watch the recording of the seminar on wetlands and ecosystem-based disaster risk reduction (Eco-DRR). This seminar focused on the guidebook titled The Wetlands and Disaster Risk Reduction: A Guide for Wetland Managers, published in December 2022, which provides a practical guide for wetland managers to incorporate Eco-DRR approaches into their management plans.  This was a joint effort from The Ramsar Regional Center – East Asia (RRC-EA), the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the Secretariat of the Convention on Wetlands, and Wetlands International.
