Decision support for climate-adapted bushfire risk mitigation

随着气候变化加剧了森林火灾的风险，迫切需要在变暖的世界中仍然有效的火灾管理工具。该项目旨在优化现有风险缓解工具的交付，并确定在燃料管理、抑制和社区参与方面开发新工具的途径。这项研究预计将产生新的知识，以支持跨多个（有时是相互竞争的）价值观的适应气候变化的森林火灾风险缓解。该项目的目标是改造该国主要消防机构的能力，将气候变化纳入其决策，为适应气候变化的火灾管理制定全球标准，并改善人类健康、经济和环境的成果。

As climate change intensifies bushfire risks, there is an urgent need for fire management tools that remain effective in a warming world. This project aims to optimise the delivery of current risk mitigation tools and identify pathways to develop new tools across fuel management, suppression and community engagement. This research is expected to generate new knowledge to support climate-adapted bushfire risk mitigation across multiple, sometimes competing values. The project goal is to transform the capacity of the country’s leading fire agencies to embed climate change into their decision-making, setting a global standard for climate-adapted fire management and leading to improved outcomes for human health, the economy and the environment.
