Join the Collective

The Global Wildfire Collective is a community of interdisciplinary wildfire-related practitioners that facilitates easy access to and sharing of research publications, data, methodologies, models, and tools among global wildfire researchers and operational practitioners. The GWC platform facilitates discussion, collaboration, and knowledge-sharing across wildfire-related disciplines, ecosystems, and regions. The results of these exchanges will be leveraged to build local and national capacity to address immediate wildfire threats and build long-term wildfire resilience.

Collective Call to action

The ecological effects of wildfire are occurring synergistically with other global change agents, often with cascading impacts and compounding effects. Forest fire carbon emissions increased by 60% globally from 2001 to 2023, with emissions of 8.6 billion tons in 2023 alone (16% above average). Reflecting these growing impacts, 42 of 163 UNFCCC Parties report wildfires as a climate-related hazard in their NDCs and/or National Communications.

It is critical to bring a comprehensive discussion of wildfire threats into UNFCCC negotiations and processes. In this context, the Global Wildfire Collective has written an open call-to-action letter to the UNFCCC and CBD Executive Secretaries, urging the creation of a joint Technical Expert Group on wildfire resilience and recovery. This Expert Group is envisioned to facilitate concerted action on wildfire impacts through technical assistance and associated funding mechanisms.
Members of the Global Wildfire Collective are encouraged to review and add signatures to the call to action letter.
