Canada is increasingly experiencing severe wildfires from coast-to-coast-to-coast. Addressing this challenge requires a multifaceted strategy that incorporates the acceleration of technology implementation and innovation, respects and integrates Indigenous knowledge and practices, and promotes adaptive forest management. The Wildfire Resilience Consortium of Canada (WRCC) aims to unify these elements to create a transformative approach to wildfire management for the country and beyond.
Through the place-based knowledge mobilization network, the technology and innovation accelerator and a core focus on Indigenous fire stewardship and long term land management, WRCC will be the bridge that leads us to enhanced resilience against wildfires. The WRCC's approach is holistic, collaborative, and adaptive, ensuring that Canada is better prepared for and resilient to the growing wildfire threat.
