Wildfire Risk for Global Wildland–Urban Interface Areas
Nature Sustainability, 7, 474–484
Read publicationResearch question
Where do expanding human settlements meet elevated wildfire risk?
Geographic scope
Global wildland–urban interfaces
Evidence base
Global spatial assessment of wildfire risk
Approach
A global spatial analysis characterizes wildfire risk where built settlements and wildland vegetation intersect.
Why it matters
The work links climate-related hazards with urban expansion and provides a basis for comparing vulnerability across settlement contexts.
