Last year, an area around twice the size of Luxembourg was burnt in the EU.
It was the fourth worst year since 2000 regarding areas affected by wildfires. This is also due to the single largest fire to occur in Europe since the 1980s.
We call for greater prevention and preparedness via:
🔹 nature-based solutions like vegetation management
🔸 wildfire early warning systems
🔹 the efficient firefighting means that the #EUCivilProtection Mechanism offers.
"For more than 13,000 years...hundreds of...tribes 👉across...the world used small intentional burns to renew local food, medicinal and cultural resources, create habitat for animals, and reduce the risk of larger, more dangerous wild fires."👈
