Sindh, despite having a comprehensive climate change policy, practical implementation and adaptation strategies remain insufficient, leading to visible impacts such as increased floods, droughts, and heatwaves. All sectors, including agriculture, fisheries, forestry, and wildlife, are suffering the consequences, putting both people and wildlife at risk. Urgent action is needed from the government to effectively apply the policy and improve conditions.

🔥 Bushfires are one of Australia’s greatest challenges and are becoming more frequent and severe due to climate change causing an increase in the occurrence of extreme fire weather. 🚒 👨🚒 Hazard reduction burns are used to reduce the likelihood and severity of bushfires, but even these are challenging to plan due to a narrow window of opportunity. Now scientists at the Bushfire Research Centre of Excellence at The Australian National University, and Hawkesbury Institute for the Environment at Western Sydney University, are trialling cost-effective #sensors which will empower bushfire managers to efficiently monitor the moisture content of bushfire fuel in real time. This will help bushfire managers better identify prescribed burn opportunities and monitor fire risk. 👏 Read about it 👉 https://lnkd.in/dRzUECsm Rachael Nolan Indicium Dynamics Forestry Corporation of NSW ACT Parks and Conservation Service André Urfer Peter Runcie #ResearchNetwork #TechDevelopment #ScienceInnovation #SensingSolutions #ResearchCollaboration #IndustryCollaboration

🔊 Climate resilience, forest fires, circular bioeconomy.... WHAT FOREST MODEL DO WE WANT IN EUROPE? Experts, political representatives and forest policy makers from different community regions/countries will discuss in San Sebastian on the desired forestry model for Europe. Organized by #USSE & #HAZIFundazioa Don't miss it! Program (ENG) 👉 https://lnkd.in/dbuSnpS7 Programme (FR) 👉 https://lnkd.in/d6iDwq3A #ForestModelEU #ForestGovernance #bioeconomy

📢📅 Save the date for the upcoming event on #climateresilience , #forestfires #circulareconomy and much more organized by #USSE & #HAZIFundazioa

It would be interesting to see the results of this survey. They ask simple questions but the answers would definitely go a long way in developing an understanding where #SouthAfrica is . #climatechange #climateaction

https://lnkd.in/gPMqfPvB •Thank You Frank Carroll & Steve Wolf for sharing your original post!! The attached link takes you to the EPA. As there has always been and will always be a real threat to human health from wildfires. Concentrated particulates generated from wildfire 🔥 smoke can penetrate the human lungs and end up in your bloodstream.🩸 It can send you to the hospital or worst yet end your LIFE. The idea that we can burn 🔥 our way to happiness on USFS and adjacent lands is a BIG MISTAKE. Wherever it’s feasible, the First Step to BEST management is to maximize forest product utilization followed by controlled low-intensity prescribed burns.🔥Society & Habitat are at stake.

Last year, our scientists were part of an international team involved in a rapid research study focused on Quebec’s wildfire season. The team found that climate change more than doubled the likelihood of extreme fire weather conditions in Quebec. There are different ways to manage wildfire risk, including controlled burns, revised forestry guidelines, and procedures to manage fuel around communities and infrastructure. It’s a balance of these and other techniques that can help deal with future challenges. Read the article: https://ow.ly/JfhX50RyAft #EPWeek2024 #ReadyforAnything #SimplyScience

There are again massive forest fires in Chile happening now, already killing 112 people, leaving at least 1,600 people without homes and destroying entire ecosystems. We want to share the statement of our Chilean friends and member organizations, denouncing the forestry model as one of the root causes of the fires - and calling for political action. One of their demands is a halt to pine and eucalyptus monoculture plantations. Both species are not native to Chile and are extremely inflammable. If you add the current heatwave and severe drought, you end up in a dangerous and deadly situation. Help us spread the word! https://lnkd.in/dSyydPaU

The tragic loss of life in Portugal's recent wildfires is a reminder that we must act urgently to prevent such disasters. As wildfires grow more intense worldwide, it's clear that climate change and declining land management practices are contributing factors. We need stronger investment in sustainable forestry, fire prevention, and land protection to reduce the risk and protect both people and the environment. These disasters are a human issue, and we all have a role to play in creating safer, more resilient communities. #WildfirePrevention #ClimateAction #Sustainability

Have a look at this quick and interesting look back at some of the work done to study the effects of a changing climate on wildfire risk, as well some of the other challenges that we face across the country in wildfire management.
