摘要：
Ecosystem-based disaster risk reduction (Eco-DRR) are nature-based solutions increasingly taken up to contribute to reducing disaster risks. The implementation of Eco-DRR improves an ecosystem and its ecosystem services provision so as to reduce all or select components of disaster risk. Since ecosystems are interconnected, the benefits of an Eco-DRR measure may go well beyond the actual implementation site. Yet, Eco-DRR is generally evaluated at the level of the measure itself, missing out to capture the full range of risk-reducing ecosystem services and benefits, which may cascade across the landscape. This paper coins the term "cascading benefits" emerging from Eco-DRR and conceptualises the holistic evaluation of Eco-DRR considering cascading benefits to advance evaluation of Eco-DRR at the landscape level. First, the paper presents the results of a literature review designed to understand how Eco-DRR is evaluated to date and whether and how their cascading benefits are considered in the evaluation. The review identified 51 relevant papers, that allowed extracting 93 Eco-DRR evaluation criteria; none of which capture cascading benefits of Eco-DRR. Next, these 93 criteria were assessed for their potential applicability to evaluate cascading benefits, based on an additional, targeted literature review and 7 expert interviews. As a result, 23 criteria were identified for evaluating cascading benefits, providing an entry point for more holistic Eco-DRR evaluation in the future.
