Reducing the risks of harm from environmental hazards
There are 3 indicators in development for Reducing the risks of harm from environmental hazards in development: F1 Disruption or unwanted impacts from flooding or coastal erosion, F2 Communities resilient to flooding or coastal erosion and F3 Disruption or unwanted impacts caused by drought. These will be assessed in future years when suitable data series become available.

- The network diagram in Figure 8 summarises how indicators for the goal ‘reducing the risks of harm from environmental
hazards’ may influence, or be influenced by, indicators for other goals. Natural functions of water and wetland
ecosystems and soil health are likely to be important for reducing disruption or unwanted impacts from flooding or
coastal erosion. Sustainable use of water is linked to disruption or unwanted impacts caused by drought.
