Join the Forestry Speed Dating webinar series, organized by the EFI Bioregions Facility and FIRE-RES to foster collaboration and innovation in wildfire risk mitigation. In this session, experts from the FIRE-RES, Firelogue projects, and other solution providers will share cutting-edge strategies for managing wildfire risks and enhancing integrated fire management with a specific focus on Extreme Wildfire Events (EWE). Europe has seen a dramatic increase in this phaenomenon in recent years, with over half a million hectares burned and 20 megatons of CO2 released in the EU alone in 2023. As global temperatures rise and droughts intensify, innovative solutions and sustainable forest management are more crucial than ever.
