Our final theme asked: what futures for the fire in the Earth system are plausible- and which should we aim for?

Our next session is underway, asking: How can fire policymaking and management br made more integrative, equitable and adaptive? #LeverhulmeWildfires2026

Day 2 of the Leverhulme Wildfires Summer Conference 2026 started with our fourth theme, which asks the question: What consequences and trade-offs arise from fire management ans preparedness strategies? #LeverhulmeWildfires2026

Our third conference asked the question: How do fires impact biodiversity, ecosystem services, and human health and well-being? #LeverhulmeWildfires2026

Our second conference theme ask the question- how does fire interect with atmospheric composition, the carbon-cycle and climate? #LeverhulmeWildfires2026

Our summer conference is underway! We start with the question: what controls landscape burning, and how can we better anticipate and detect these events? #leverhulmewildfires2026
