Arte: How can Europe get wildfires under control?

Wildfires are no longer restricted to hot Mediterranean countries. Now they’re happening further north, with even Scotland affected. Fire management experts say that the money is going to the wrong place: too much on firefighting and not enough on prevention. Meanwhile, Europe’s fire season is set to become longer and even deadlier.

This programme is produced by the European platform ARTE and available in 10 languages through the European media partnership EMOVE Hub. The hub is coordinated by ARTE and includes Balkan Insight (BIRN), Sinopsis (BIRN Romania), El País (ES), Gazeta Wyborcza (PL), Internazionale (IT), Ir, (LV), Kathimerini (GR), Le Soir (BE) and Telex (HU). The partnership receives EU-funding following DG CNECT’s call for European Media Hubs within the framework of the EU’s Multimedia Actions.
