No 49, OECD Environment Policy Papers from OECD Publishing

Abstract: This policy paper brings together insights and recommendations from a two-year review of Portugal’s wildfire management reforms following the extreme fires of 2017. The review focused on the implementation of Portugal’s Integrated Rural Fire Management System, including its regulatory frameworks, funding arrangements, institutional co-ordination, and the use of evidence to support wildfire management decisions. Drawing on lessons from the severe 2024 and 2025 fire seasons and international practices, the paper identifies options to further enhance the effectiveness of these reforms and provides guidance to continue strengthening Portugal’s wildfire management.
