Advancing wildfire resilience implementation

Bringing together science, local communities, policy and finance

Recent extreme wildfires worldwide have highlighted the urgent need to accelerate the transition towards integrated, landscape-scale wildfire risk management. No single sector can do this alone – it will require collaboration between government, research, local communities, the private sector, financial institutions, insurance, and philanthropy.  

The CBA’s Wildfire Resilient Landscapes Network, together with CTFC and the FIRE-RES Programme will be bringing representatives from these groups together at the Advancing Wildfire Resilience Implementation workshop at the end of September.

Thanks to support from CBA Custodian Member the “la Caixa” Foundation and the Government of Catalonia the event at Cap Roig in Spain will focus on:

  • Integrated wildfire risk management, including multifunctional landscape design with local communities and Integrated Fire Management
  • Financing implementation through public-private partnerships
  • Governance for wildfire resilience
  • Perspectives from Living Labs across the world: Spain, Canada, France, Portugal, Bulgaria, Italy, South Africa, Chile and Australia – and how Living Labs and their innovative approaches can be scaled globally
  • Innovative technologies for resilient landscapes
