Vegetation fires are increasingly frequent and intense across the globe, and Germany is no exception. This alarming trend is fueled by prolonged dry periods, a consequence of the climate crisis. The Global Fire Monitoring Center (GFMC), under the leadership of Johann Georg Goldammer, not only monitors fire events; it also serves as a critical bridge between science, policy, and practice, delivering essential knowledge where it is urgently needed. Through concrete, on-site assistance, the GFMC plays a crucial role in saving lives and securing a sustainable future in the face of growing fire risks.
