摘要

This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of EU policies and practices in sustainable forest and wildfire management, focusing on integrated multifunctional forest management (IMFM) and integrated fire management (IFM). With climate change posing increasing risks to forests, the article explores key challenges related to multifunctionality, effective monitoring, policy coherence, community engagement, and the strategic use of prescribed fires. By examining the current strategies and identifying gaps, the study offers valuable insights to enhance forest governance and IMFM and IFM approaches. The findings underscore the importance of proactive adaptation and mitigation measures (prefire management strategies) to safeguard Europe’s forests and their crucial ecosystem services amidst evolving climatic conditions.
