Wildfires are a severe threat across Europe, causing significant environmental and economic damage. They are becoming more intense and widespread as a result of climate change, particular forestry practices, ecosystem deterioration, and rural depopulation. Extreme wildfire events, in addition to their devastating ecological impact, have an unparalleled social cost in terms of both human life and economic losses.
TREEADS will tackle a number of major challenges that wildfires pose by building upon state-of-the-art high TRL products and unite them in a holistic Fire Management Ecosystem consisting of various innovative technologies and systems to optimize and reuse the available Socio-technological Resources in all three main phases of Wildfires.
By adopting a multi-stakeholder, multi-actor approach at its core, the TREEADS solutions will contribute to sustainable development as an inclusive societal process and secure sustainability and resilience of natural environment, as well as local human societies.
