Our final theme asked: what futures for the fire in the Earth system are plausible- and which should we aim for?

Our next session is underway, asking: How can fire policymaking and management br made more integrative, equitable and adaptive? #LeverhulmeWildfires2026

Day 2 of the Leverhulme Wildfires Summer Conference 2026 started with our fourth theme, which asks the question: What consequences and trade-offs arise from fire management ans preparedness strategies? #LeverhulmeWildfires2026

Our third conference asked the question: How do fires impact biodiversity, ecosystem services, and human health and well-being? #LeverhulmeWildfires2026
