Factsheet - How do we build resilience to wildfire risk?

Wildfires are becoming an increasingly significant challenge as climate change increases the frequency and severity of extreme weather events.

Future wildfire seasons in Europe are likely to see more large-scale fires, with greater impacts on livelihoods, ecosystems and communities, and longer recovery periods.

Wildfire risk is also spreading to areas that have not traditionally been exposed. The threat is extending beyond the Mediterranean to countries such as Czechia, Germany and Sweden, with the potential to cause far-reaching damage.
