Florian Kraxner and Andrey Krasovskiy participated in the workshop "Drivers of Climate Risks in Europe: Harmonizing Research on Impact Attribution of Past Events," which took place on Friday, September 22, 2023, at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) in Potsdam, Germany.

Andrey Krasovskiy presenting FLAM results at PIK
Their presentation, titled "Modelling Wildfires in Europe with the FLAM Model," was delivered by Andrey and showcased the FLAM modeling approach. This approach not only enables the capture of historical fire events but also facilitates the generation of future scenarios under climate change projections and adaptation options.
The presentation garnered significant interest from the audience, leading to engaging discussions and the potential for collaboration with the Joint Research Center in Ispra, as well as PIK. The event hosted approximately 60 participants, including the invited speakers.

Closer to home, FLAM projections were featured at the annual ForestNavigator project consortium meeting, hosted by IIASA the week of September 25-29. FLAM is an important component of the project, used to assess forest fire risks across Europe in conjunction with other natural hazards. Looking forward, the FLAM team will also participate in upcoming project meetings for the Human-Tech Nexus (HuT) in Valencia, Spain at the end of October and for MOSAIC in Innsbruck at the beginning of November.
