Dive deep into the event

What are the next steps?

Overall mapping and integration of project results

The detailed overviews of the projects presented will build the basis for an in-depth mapping of project activities and the identification for priority areas for cross-project integration.

Wildfire risk assessment and evaluation

In order to synthesise project activities on wildfire risk assessments and evaluation, Firelogue continues to facilitate the dialogue between the projects. Building on existing approaches, Firelogue will map these activities and data bases with the aim of merging them into a joint approach.

Wildfire risk governance

Relating to international framework documents such as the Landscape Fire Governance Framework or the Wildfire Peer Review Assessment Framework, Firelogue aims to facilitate the mapping of project results towards their different dimensions.

Policy coherence

Firelogue wants to integrate project recommendations across different policy fields such as forestry, climate change adaptation or civil protection. By the means of its five working groups on environment/ecology, society, infrastructures, insurance and civil protection, it continues dialogue at the interface between science, practice and politics. In order to avoid dysfunctions between respective policies, it also aims to advance discussions and analyses related to policy coherence.

Integrating the justice dimension to Wildfire Risk Governance:

Firelogue is building its activities on the presumption that justice aspects in wildfire risk governance need to be strengthened. It therefore suggests to include aspects of distributive, procedural and restorative justice more broadly into the development of wildfire risk management strategies at multiple scales ( https://www.nature.com/articles/s41558-023-01726-0). Firelogue will further explore the implementation of justice aspects through interactive workshop formats with a representation of diverse stakeholders.

Designing a multi-stakeholder platform

Building on the Lessons on Fire platform developed by the Pau Costa Foundation, Firelogue will gather the results from research projects with the aim to make them available in an easy-to-understand manner to different stakeholder groups. It therefore develops a “Technology Mall” and a catalogue of “Wildfire Risk Management measures” among others: https://lessonsonfire.firelogue.eu/
