Wildfires: The prevention tactics the EU must focus on

from Today in the EU · host Euractiv

Wildfires are once again raging in the south of Europe. With rising temperatures and global warming, wildfires have become a prominent issue for Europe, particularly in the summer, showing that the need for effective prevention and management is critical. But what lessons have we learned in recent years, what is the effectiveness of existing measures, and what are the future steps necessary to mitigate these destructive events? To break down these questions, we are joined by Balazs Ujvari, spokesperson for the EU's Budget and Human Resources, Humanitarian Aid, and Crisis Management, and Lindon Pronto, a senior fire management expert at the European Forest Institute and a former firefighter.
