Description
Weather and climate play an important role in shaping global fire regimes and geographical distributions of burnable areas. At the global scale, fire danger is likely to increase in the near future due to warmer temperatures and changes in precipitation patterns, as projected by the Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). There is a need to develop the most reliable projections of future climate-driven fire danger to enable decision makers and forest managers to respond to future fire events. Climate change projections generated by general circulation models, especially those that contribute to the 6th Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6), are the most important basis in understanding future changes in fire-conducive weather and climate associated with a warming world. However, errors and biases inherent to such models are rarely taken into account …
