The European Union has invested over 70 million Euros in wildfire risk management related research and innovation activities, mainly under its Green Deal Program aiming to transform the EU into a modern, resource-efficient and competitive economy, with a reduced impact of wildfires, ensuring no net emissions of greenhouse gases by 2050.
All projects covered prevention, preparedness, response and recovery as well adaptation aspects. Collectively, these projects bring forward innovative scientific research, complemented with the use of new technologies. These research outcomes have been validated across several European pilot sites. The development of new scientific research and technologies relies on the use of new data sources (such as Copernicus satellites, drones, robots, and data-driven algorithms) that have been developed, and feed a proposal for An Integrated Wildfire Risk Management Strategy for the EU: developing resilient landscapes and safer communities European Strategy.
This survey aims to facilitate a review by the wider wildfire risk management community.
