France

The Mediterranean region of France comprises three regions with characteristic fire regimes and associated challenges: Provence (extremely fire-prone, densely populated, tourism), Languedoc (wind-driven fires), and mountains (Alps and Pyrenees, fire-prone, complex topography, high biodiversity, rural economies).

This Study Hub will do a tour with activities (field trips, workshops, work packages meetings) around three selected regions along the Mediterranean Sea, from the southern Alps to the Pyrenees towards Perpignan. It will be a host for knowledge exchange activities between scientists, practitioners, communities, and policymakers. Field data collection on carbon dynamics, biodiversity
impacts and other thematic will also be done.

Dates: 21 January – 6 February 2025.
