Brussels – The aim: to provide a practical tool for policy guidance on mitigating the risks posed by climate change<\/strong>. This is the reason behind the special handbook that the EU executive is developing for the states, as European Environment Commissioner Jessika Roswall anticipates, responding to a question<\/a> about the impact of fires on EU flora and fauna. <\/p>\n

“The Commission is preparing a comprehensive guidance document on climate change and Natura 2000”, the network of protected natural areas, explains Roswall. “This document will help Member States to implement forest fire risk management strategies<\/strong> in sensitive areas, with the aim of mitigating negative effects on protected species and habitats<\/strong> and promoting the adoption of ecosystem-based prevention techniques.”<\/span><\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

This initiative stems from two considerations. The first, the Commissioner explains, is that “the Commission recognises the significant impact that catastrophic forest fires have on biodiversity,” <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>giventheir scale<\/b>. Secondly, Roswall continues, “fires of large size and increasing intensity are increasing<\/strong> in frequency due to climate change and other factors such as land abandonment and the consequent accumulation of fuel.” There is a growing need to respond to these challenges.<\/span><\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Roswall offers no indication as to when the document being worked on might be ready, but assures that work is ongoing and that the issue will be addressed.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
