Abstract
With supression capacity nearing it’s limits, fuel accumulation reaching it’s peak and fire weather increasing in (North) Western, more wildfire risk reduction is needed. A proactive approach entails heightened awareness, collaboration, and knowledge exchange among stakeholders. My research pursues: (1) determining the historical and future fire weather trends in the Netherlands under climate change, (2) establishing the opportunities and challenges to adapt the forestry risk management to the emerging wildfire risk, (3) assessing the wildfire risk information land and forest managers need for informed land management decisions, and (4) what lessons learnt can be learned from other hazards (flood and water management) to enhance risk reduction strategies.
