FIRE-ADAPT
“The role of Integrated Fire Management on climate change adaptation for ecosystem services in tropical and subtropical regions” In the last few years, extreme wildfires have risen to international prominence, with widespread media coverage and political attention triggered by devastating fires in many places of the world, e.g. France, Greece, Italy, Brazil (the Amazon), and […]
ResAlliance
The objective of the ResAlliance is to facilitate information and knowledge flow and increase the awareness, understanding and capacity of farmers and foresters on landscape resilience in Mediterranean countries. More specifically, ResAlliance will gather and assess knowledge and practice needs, gaps, barriers, solutions and good practices to achieve resilient landscapes, with special emphasis on measures […]
Advanced Fire Analysis Network (AFAN)
AFAN aims at formalising a European wildfire expert knowledge-sharing network focused on fire risk analysis (or assessment) and risk reduction. The initiative has the sub-objective to scale up existing regional and national and international knowledge and capacities, transfer them with the mission of shared mutual learning and create the basis of an operational network based […]
Ramats de Foc
“Fire Flocks” is a project that helps manage forest fire risk through shepherding. The contribution of herds in fire risk management is enhanced through shepherding in strategic areas. Fire Flocks hallmarck favors the continuity of livestock activity in the territory and prevents large fires. “Fire Flocks” brings together public and private agents interested in the […]
WUICOM-BCN
Wildfires suppose a growing threat to populated areas around the world, especially in the Mediterranean arch, with a climate change scenario that leads to increasingly intense and destructive fires. Populations with an urban-forest interface -UIF- such as Barcelona with its perimeter neighborhoods scattered around the Collserola Park, are especially vulnerable to fires because they do […]
EduFire Toolkit
EduFire Toolkit was an educational project coordinated by the Pau Costa Foundation, within the framework of the European Commision’s Erasmus+ programme. Currently, all climate change forecasts predict an increase in drought and average temperatures across Europe with a consequent expansion of the fire season, promoting changes in vegetation, loss of biodiversity, decreasing the quality of […]
MeFiTu
The Mediterranean Forest, the Fire and You (MeFiTu), is an environmental awareness project on the ecology of forest fires aimed at primary school students to educate, communicate and raise awareness about the role the fire in the Mediterranean ecosystem and our relationship with it. This project works to reorient the social perception of fire, learning […]
NEMAUSUS
The NEMAUSUS project (Network of European Multihazard cApacities hUb of Scientifics Understanding and Sharing) will provide preliminary settings of a European Centre of Expertise (CoE) dedicated to forest and wildfires. This Centre will rely on an existing French civil protection base in Nîmes-Garons (France) as the main entity of a system gathering knowledge related to this topic within the Union, […]
Firelogue
The overarching objective of the FireLogue project is to create a network and a platform for the discussion on the future of European WFRM, engaging the entirety of the WFRM community. Focusing on supporting the Innovation Actions funded under H2020 call, FIRELOGUE integrates actors and findings into cross-sectoral WFRM recommendations for a 2030 roadmap. FIRELOGUE […]
