Development of new approaches for assessing the vulnerability of ecosystems, human settlements, and assets to extreme weather events (e.g., drought, heat waves), fire risk, and fire danger, through multi-risk and multi-impact assessments.
Fire danger models along with fire risk and exposure are coupled with climate and seasonal forecast models with the aim to identify and assess climate change, socio-economic and land use impacts on forest fires (from local to Euro-Mediterranean scale).
