Climate Change - Rise of Forest Fires

Thu, 21/04/2022 - 17:12

According to a study by CEEW India, hot temperatures, low humidity & increased dry spells because of #ClimatChange has caused #ForestFires in #India to rise 10 fold between 2000 to 2019. Climate-proofing forests is the need of the hour. We need long-term mitigation and adaptation policies that will include smart technologies to curtail losses from forest fires. In the short term, we need robust disaster management plans, risk assessment, and forest-fire only alert systems. #ClimateChange #SaveOurForests
