Title
Developing a holistic, risk-wise strategy for European wildfire management.
Challenge
A risk-centred management strategy integrating wildfire prevention, suppression, and restoration practices and policies and implementing an operational platform of coordination, professional training, and exercises is demanded to address mega-fires, the wildland urban interface, and the fire challenges in Europe.
Goal
Develop, evaluate and disseminate a science-based integrated strategy to: 1) expand current wildland fire risk assessment systems, including critical factors of risk previously not covered; 2) produce effective measures to reduce current fire risk conditions, and 3) adapt management strategies to expected future climate and socio-economic changes.
