The risks of forest fires are forecasted to increase in Europe due to climate change and other factors. In response, innovative fire preventive measures are needed. This workshop will review current systems for fire prevention, identify innovative strategies, best practices and possible policy instruments, and develop policy conclusions and recommendations for forest fire prevention in Europe.
The workshop was co-organised by the Hellenic Ministry for the Environment, Energy and Climate Change; Republic of Cyprus, Department of Forests; FOREST EUROPE; Union of South European Foresters (USSE); Silva Mediterranea Committee; and ToS on Forest Fires UNECE/FAO. The workshop is an activity of the Work Programme on the pan-European follow-up of the 5th Ministerial Conference on the Protection of Forests in Europe, held in Warsaw 2007.
