Country Report

This report summarizes the results of a rapid review of wildfire risk and management capacity in Cyprus, and it highlights potential risk management priorities to inform policy dialogue and future research. The review considers capacity across multiple dimensions, including governance, understanding of earthquake risk, risk reduction and mitigation, early warning and public awareness, preparedness and emergency response, recovery and post-disaster financing, and cross-cutting topics such as social resilience and the role of the private sector.

For each of these dimensions, the report draws on available information to review the general context and current arrangements, including key challenges and opportunities for improvement.
