MAINSTREAMING OF ECO-DRR TO IMPLEMENT INTEGRATED WATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENT IN INDONESIA

Wahyu Widiyono, Fabrice Renaud, Karen sudmeier-Rieux

Abstract

Science to policy of ecosystem based adaptation to manage disaster risk reduction in the context of IWRM is very important in sustainability science concept. It will explain how the science and evidence-base of ecosystem based disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaptation (CCA) could more effectively inform and influence development decisions. Sustainability Science can be defined as understanding the fundamental character of interactions between nature and society. In brief definition, a sustainable development as the ’ability to make development sustainable—to ensure that it meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs’. Understanding core concept related to ecosystems, disaster risk reduction, climate change adaptation, resilience and sustainable development is very important, because: it linkages between ecosystems, disaster risk reduction, and resilience; (2) it linkages between climate change, disasters and ecosystem-based adaptation; (3) ecosystem management approaches/tools in reducing disaster risk and adapting to climate change impact; and (4) mainstreaming Eco-DRR/CCA into development policy, plans and strategies. The paper was also to remind us that ecosystem-based DRR/CCA is often under valued and under-appreciated as part of a comprehensive approach to risk reduction.

Keywords
