Abstract

The existing model for preventing and in Europe will not further succeed at confronting the change of regime that is taking place. To change the model it is important to first settle some basics. One of them is to speak the same language, therefore an agreement must be reached in defining extreme fires and impacts of fire. It is also important to describe the possible future scenarios, because it will be necessary to decide which of them are acceptable and which are not, and to calculate the costs (e.g. in landscape transformation) to follow the road to avoid the latest.Moreover, it is crucial to monitor actions to detect which of them bring us closer to desired scenarios or far from them.
Future scenarios can be reached following different roads and with different velocities.
The road selected can facilitate itself reaching desired/acceptable scenarios. Being aware of
the point where regions are along the process could help to map the global situation and to
learn from the experience from regions with similar situations.

Goals

The wildfire risk governance system encompasses a diversity of agents. There are agents
(e.g. administrations, landowners ...) that have the capacity to control some key elements.
These agents' take actions (involved with their different responsibilities, their agreements
and decisions) that will define the path towards the future scenario. So it is important to
integrate this broad perspective and the different agents with capacity to influence in this
future scenario because their actions will facilitate or hinder tackling the change, and this
also entails liabilities. So agreements regarding on behalf of the common interest are
required and responsibilities will also need to be established.
To address these situations it is important to look for those hubs that analyze actual
scenarios and collect their lessons learned to adopt a new way to make decisions based on
these knowledge and more generally a new way to think (e.g. a new ICS adapted to lessons learned).
One of the points that will need to be redefined is the role of fire on the landscape
transformation will also need to be revised
