International Wildfire Preparedness Mechanism (UNISDR – IWPM) Major Hazard Agreement of the Council of Europe (EUR-OPA) Fire and Rescue International, Greenstone, South AfricaConference Proceedings • February 18th, 2019
As a result of the reality of climate change, unchecked vegetation/fuel accumulation and ignorance of fire-ecological requirements – particularly in the Mediterranean zone-biome – fire hazard levels have now reached alarming proportions in countries of Europe, Africa, the Americas and Australia particularly in the Mediterranean forests, woodlands, shrublands and grasslands. This is including the increased fire hazard levels in introduced, exotic, forestry plantations: Invasive or purposely planted. This also goes hand in hand with a prevailing lack of appreciation and understanding for the underlying causes that have changed the natural and cultural landscapes, resulting in an increase of extremely severe, uncontrollable wildfire disasters.
