This publication presents the analysis conducted over a sample of wildfire risk awareness and communication initiatives and projects across the EU and beyond. The collection of initiatives and projects highlights the importance of targeted public initiatives, citizen and stakeholder participation, multi-agency collaboration, knowledge and lessons learned exchange, and the need for sustained funding to ensure their success and impact in terms of risk culture. It also underscores the importance of adaptability and constant updating of messages and communication tools to address the changing wildfire risk landscape in each territory. The initiatives analysed show a mix of one-way, two-way, top-down and bottom-up approaches, which may serve to achieve different risk awareness and communication goals.
