Description
Several reports reviewing wildfire events of the past years have been launched recently. They include an “Analysis of 2021 critical wildfire events in the Mediterranean region” by Almeida et al. 2023, the report on “Forest Fires of Summer 2022” for the European Parliament (Pronto et al., 2023) or reports by research and innovation actions
that have been recently funded (e.g. D1.1 Transfer of Lessons learned on extreme fire events to key stakeholders” of the FIRE-RES project) (Castellnou et al., 2022). However, the reports differ in geographic focus (from Mediterranean to the whole of Europe), the type of events analysed (large/critical vs. extreme events), the temporal scope (annual analysis vs. insights over the past seven years), their objectives, and the types of conclusions and recommendations they draw (from the local, operational context to European investment funds and support mechanisms).
This report hence aimes to synthesise thesw findings. It reviewes the conclusions and recommendations of the reports and clusteres them into eight topics:
- Governance
- Northern European Challenges
- Risk Awareness and Communication
- Funding
- Urban planning and landscape management
- Housing and self-protection
- Response
- Training and guidelines
