Future global economic stability is under significant threat from environmental risks. Peat rural areas are particularly susceptible due to their elevated levels of hazard, vulnerability, and limited capacity. Recognizing these risks is crucial for promoting sustainable development via lowcarbon initiatives in peat areas. This study analyzes the environmental risk in peat rural areas within Riau Province. The PROMETHEE approach was utilized, integrating with Shannon Entropy weighting for data analysis. The findings reveal that three regencies are exhibiting favorable environmental risk and six regencies facing adverse conditions. The criteria influencing showcase various positive and negative contributions across each regency. The sensitivity analysis demonstrates that droughts, unmanaged waste disposal, and local wisdom display wider weighted stability intervals within each dimension, underscoring the robust ranking of environmental risks. Recognizing environmental risk can serve as a foundation for decision -makers to formulate sustainable development policies especially in peat rural areas. (c) 2024 the licensee Canada.
