In recent years, large forest fires have repeatedly affected Europe, in particular the Mediterranean countries. Fire danger is influenced by weather in the short term, and by climate when considering longer time intervals. In this work, the emphasis is on the direct influence on fire danger of weather and climate.For climate analysis at the continental scale, a daily high-emission scenario (RCP 8.5) was considered up to the end of the century, and a mitigation scenario that limits global warming to 2 °C was also assessed. To estimate fire danger, the Canadian Fire Weather Index (FWI) system was used. FWI provides a uniform numerical rating of relative fire ...

Summary (excerpts from the chapter) Wildfire risk assessment is fundamental for developing prevention, mitigation and preparedness plans. Many countries have customized approaches to assess wildfire risk and these vary widely among them [.]. The level of elaboration of these assessments is often related to the impact of fires in these regions and countries. Normally, those countries more often confronted with wildfires are more prepared and have elaborated detailed wildfire risk maps at country/regional level. However, this process has led to different regional/national approaches that are not comparable, although wildfires are often ...
