Green Deal Mission “ The recovery plan turns the immense challenge we face into an opportunity, not only by supporting the recovery but also by investing in our future: the European Green Deal and digitalization will boost jobs and growth, the resilience of our societies and the health of our environment. ” - European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen 1 Billion Euro is pledged to ensuring this
Green Deal Goals Make the EU climate neutral by 2050 Restore biodiversity and cut pollution Invest in environmentally-friendly technologies Support the industry in innovating Boost the efficient use of resources Move to a clean, circular economy Roll out cleaner, cheaper and healthier forms of transport Decarbonise the energy sector Ensure buildings are more energy efficient Work with international partners to improve global environmental standards

Disclaimer The presentation of draft topics and the feedback provided shall in under no circumstances bind the European Commission in the final formulation of topics for the call. The binding call text will be published following the formal decision by the European Commission on the Funding and tender opportunities portal
Area 1: Increasing Climate Ambition: Cross Sectoral Challenges This area addresses research and innovation needs for climate mitigation and adaptation. The area comprises the following topics: 1.1. Preventing and fighting extreme wildfires with the integration and demonstration of innovative means 1.2. Towards climate-neutral and socially innovative cities 1.3. Climate-resilient innovation packages for EU regions
1.1. Preventing and Fighting Extreme Wildfires With the Integration and Demonstration of Innovative Means Main Points – Address one of the following subtopics - 1. Develop, integrate and demonstrate innovative means and methods to adapt to extreme wildfires. Cover three intervention areas – I. Prevention & Preparedness II. Detection & Response III. Restoration & Adaptation 2. Ensure that the demonstration of innovative and integrated approaches fulfils the expected impacts
1.1. Preventing and Fighting Extreme Wildfires With the Integration and Demonstration of Innovative Means Funding Terms – 75 million euro budget At least one project selected from sub topic 1, one project selected from sub topic 2 Subtopic 1 o IA – Innovation Action (70% funding +25%) o Between 15-20 million euro expected for each project Subtopic 2 o CSA – Coordination and Support Action (100% funding +25%) o Between 2-3 million euro expected for each project o Relevant both for subtopic 1, as well as call area 7
1.1. Preventing and Fighting Extreme Wildfires With the Integration and Demonstration of Innovative Means Why is this needed? Wildfires impact EU citizens with hundreds of casualties and € 2B in economic damages yearly Wildfires contribute to climate change and account for up to 20% of global greenhouse emissions a year Extreme wildfires have negative effects on biodiversity, soil and water degradation and air quality Climate change, will increase wildfires ’ frequency, length and severity
1.1. Preventing and Fighting Extreme Wildfires With the Integration and Demonstration of Innovative Means 1. Develop, integrate and demonstrate innovative means and methods to adapt to extreme wildfires Manage all phases - I. Prevention & Preparedness – o Integrating information on wildfire causes, impacts, dynamics and trends into existing databases o Upscaling mobile apps and technology to allow access to warnings o Build preparedness with training, education, awareness and community involvement (for example with UNDRR) o Integrate prevention and resilience using risk analysis and insurance models
1.1. Preventing and Fighting Extreme Wildfires With the Integration and Demonstration of Innovative Means 1. Develop, integrate and demonstrate innovative means and methods to adapt to extreme wildfires Manage all phases - II. Detection & Response - o Optimize firefighter response (ground or air) and coordination between forces and with the fire (location, navigation, communication) – based on training and simulations o Increase rapid search and rescue capabilities, utilizing space and areal means (satellites, drones, sensors … ) o Improve forecasting and decision making with different scenarios and sources o Protect first responders and improve their safety and efficiency (for example IFAFRI)
1.1. Preventing and Fighting Extreme Wildfires With the Integration and Demonstration of Innovative Means 1. Develop, integrate and demonstrate innovative means and methods to adapt to extreme wildfires Manage all phases - III. Restoration & Adaptation – o Evaluate restoration solutions, legal frameworks and governance systems dealing with wildfires o Advance sustainable post-fire restoration solutions of damaged ecosystems o Test and develop public-private cooperation mechanisms to increase investments
1.1. Preventing and Fighting Extreme Wildfires With the Integration and Demonstration of Innovative Means 2. Ensure that the demonstration of innovative and integrated approaches fulfils the expected impacts Provide extensive knowledge of past events and and structure knowledge sharing (for example DRKMC, EFFIS or FISE) Improve effectiveness of activities by researching ‘ Lessons Learnt ’ from dealing with previous events Develop better response for cross border and international events Recommend standard operating procedures and training for first responders enabling shared assets and facilities
1.1. Preventing and Fighting Extreme Wildfires With the Integration and Demonstration of Innovative Means Conditions – Detail resources for engaging with the project in sub topic 2 Activities should go beyond the state of the art and previous R&I activities at EU level Involve end-users from EU Member States / Associate Countries Prove access to necessary land and / or permits for operation at the time of application
1.1. Preventing and Fighting Extreme Wildfires With the Integration and Demonstration of Innovative Means Conditions – Convincing risk management regarding delayed availability of land or permits, which can include go / no-go decisions at mid-term Cost for renting of land can be eligible during the project ’ s duration provided they fulfil the eligibility conditions This is an SSH (Social Sciences and Humanities) topic, as well as one with space applications Contribute to the networking and experience sharing activities under the GD Call (acknowledge and integrate these obligations in the proposal)
