Ecosystem-based approaches can contribute to the specific goals of the Rio Conventions and the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (hereafter Sendai Framework). Each Convention has certain goals, targets, tools and processes where ecosystem-based approaches could be emphasized, and their use has been explicitly encouraged in specific targets and decisions related to the Rio Conventions and the Sendai Framework. There is a need for enhanced collaboration among the Rio Conventions and the disaster risk reduction community, to align existing policies and frameworks across sectors and to mainstream multi-goal-oriented, ecosystembased approaches in national and local-level policy and planning. This can significantly reduce programme costs and increase effectiveness at the same time.
