Thursday, June 27, 2019Wildfire is any uncontrolled vegetation fire that requires a decision, or action, to suppress it. This POSTnote summarises management of wildfires in the UK, how projected climate changes may affect UK wildfire behaviour, and the environmental, economic, and health impacts of this. It also outlines policy options for increasing the UK’s resilience to wildfires.

Key Points: 
  • This POSTnote summarises management of wildfires in the UK, how projected climate changes may affect UK wildfire behaviour, and the environmental, economic, and health impacts of this.
  • UK climate projections indicate more climatic factors conducive to wildfire (heat, lack of moisture and wind) but there is a lack of recorded evidence on the environmental, economic and health impacts of wildfire events.
  • UK climate projections indicate that climatic factors conducive to elevated wildfire conditions will increase.
  • The UK Climate Change Risk Assessment and National Adaptation Programme identified wildfire as a climate change risk.
