"The current wet conditions delivered by La Niña may have caused widespread
flooding, but they’ve also provided a reprieve from the threat of bushfires in
southeastern Australia. This is an ideal time to consider how we prepare for
the next bushfire season.
Dry conditions will eventually return, as will fire. So, two years on from the
catastrophic Black Summer fires, is Australia better equipped for a future of
extreme fire seasons?
In our recent synthesis on the Black Summer fires, we argue climate change is
exceeding the capacity of our ecological and social systems to adapt. The paper
is based on a series of reports we, and other experts from the NSW Bushfire
Risk Management Research Hub, were commissioned to produce for the NSW
government’s bushfire inquiry.
Fire management in Australia has reached a crossroads, and “business as usual”
won’t cut it. In this era of mega-fires, diverse strategies are urgently needed
so we can safely live with fire."
