Fueled by climate change and drier conditions, wildfire seasons are becoming longer and more extreme. The need for stronger international coordination and a more integrated global response is growing. The Kananaskis Wildfire Charter is the first high level multilateral effort to build global capacity to prevent, respond and recover from wildfires. It identifies priority actions before, during and after fire, that countries can take on their own or in collaboration with others. The event will celebrate continued endorsement of the Charter and bring together like-minded countries to discuss its advancement
