Objectives:
We dream of sustainable development, but on the other side, climate change has worsened the natural hazards and intensified disasters to vulnerable populations. The questions intended to answer the objectives in this online panel include: What is “Eco-DRR”? What are challenges and opportunities for Southeast Asian countries to implement Eco-DRR approach? And how to understand Eco-DRR from SFDRR (Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction) and UN’s SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) perspective?

Panelists:
Three panelists will be invited to this online panel to contextualize mainstreaming of Eco-DRR from a perspective of Thailand, Japan, and Indonesia.
• Panelist 1 (Eco-DRR and SFDRR in Thailand Context): Dr. Wanwalee Inpin (School of Social Innovation, Mae Fah Luang University)
The Sendai Framework, a global agreement adopted by UN member states in 2015, emphasizes the importance of ecosystem-based approaches for disaster risk reduction. From SFDRR perspective, has Thailand mainstreamed Eco-DRR into policy and institutional coordination? What are roles of the government in mainstreaming Eco-DRR and what are challenges and opportunities to implement Eco-DRR in Thailand context?
• Panelist 2 (Eco-DRR, Resilience, and Implementation in Indonesia): Dr.rer.nat Muhammad Anggris Setiawan, M.Si (Director of Center for Natural Disaster Studies, Gadjah Mada University)
Indonesia, a country highly prone to various natural hazards, has been actively implementing Eco-DRR as part of its disaster risk reduction efforts. Has Eco-DRR integrated into policy and institutional coordination in Indonesia, and what are initiatives to promotes best practices in Eco-DRR implementation in Indonesia?
• Panelist 3 (Eco-DRR and Sustainable Development with a case study in Japan): Dr. Yuki Miyake (School of Social Innovation, Mae Fah Luang University)
Japan is known for its advanced disaster risk reduction strategies and has been actively implementing Eco-DRR as part of its comprehensive approach to managing natural hazards. What are lesson learned of Eco-DRR implementation from the forest, watershed management, and river ecosystem to sustainable development in Japan? What are challenges and opportunities to implement Eco-DRR outside Japan?
• Moderator: Aj. Maya Dania (School of Social Innovation, Mae Fah Luang University)
