In light of unprecedented wildfire activity, with over one million hectares burned in 2025, the EU is implementing a coordinated strategy to address the crisis. This includes the expansion of the European aerial firefighting fleet, the establishment of a fire management center in Cyprus, and the deployment of firefighters among member states. Experts warn that climate change is likely to exacerbate wildfire intensity, prompting the EU to prioritize cooperation over individual state responses to enhance forest protection.
