The workshop was the second of four workshops to be delivered over the course of the two-year ANSFR Project: “Accidental, Natural and Social Fire Risk (ANSFR): The prevention and diminution of the human and financial costs of fire through effective risk assessment and management”. The ANSFR Project is being managed and coordinated by Northumberland Fire and Rescue Service (UK) working in close partnership with Frederikssund-Halsnæs Fire and Rescue Department (Denmark), Corpo Nazionale dei Vigili del Fuoco – Nucleo Investigativo Antincendi (NIA) (Italy), the Emergency Services College (Finland), South West Finland Emergency Services (Finland) and Kanta-Häme Fire and Rescue Service (Finland). The project is co-funded by the European Commission Directorate-General for Environment under the Civil Protection Financial Instrument, 2008 call for proposals (Grant Number: 070401/2008/507848/SUB/A3). The ANSFR project aims to develop new frameworks for the identification, assessment and management of accidental, natural/environmental and social fire risk. The materials developed during the project will help Fire and Rescue Services in Europe to protect life, property and the environment through the effective assessment and management of fire risks. The ANSFR Project is divided into three key work themes: accidental fire risk; environmental fire risk; and social fire risk. The aim of the Frederikssund-Halsnæs Workshop was for participants to “develop a good understanding of the environmental fire risk assessment and management practices currently adopted by the partner organisations and to discuss and debate potential synergies and improvements to these practices for effective use in all project countries.” The workshop focused on the assessment and management of fires occurring within rural/outdoor environments such as wildfires, forest fires, moorland fires, grassland fires and fires on agricultural land. There was also some discussion and reference to other similar types of outdoor fires such as heathland fires, and fires in coastal locations. The event benefited from the attendance and contribution of a number of specialist operational wildfire officers and research and project specialists. Based on the evidence presented and analysed in the full Post-Event Evaluation Report, Northumberland Fire and Rescue Service and Frederikssund-Halsnæs Fire and Rescue Service have jointly concluded that the workshop successfully fulfilled all of the predefined learning objectives and delivered all three desirable outputs. Consequently, it was concluded that the event achieved its key aim. The event was even more successful when taking into account that a further unpredicted outcome was achieved. A number of the organisations present at the workshop agreed to collaborate at a later date to deliver and receive theoretical and practical training in risk prediction tools and techniques that can be used to fight wildfires more safely and more efficiently. In addition, wildfire officers from Northumberland Fire and Rescue Service have agreed to provide assistance and advice, based on their professional experience and training in multiple countries across the world, for the planned burn of an area of forest in Frederikssund-Halsnæs in 2010/11. This outcome represents a great example of how cross-border sharing of information and expertise in risk identification, assessment and management can yield significant mutual benefits for European Fire and Rescue Services and the communities that they serve. 2 The information presented in this handbook will be of interest to all organisations in Europe with a responsibility for fire prevention and fire risk assessment and management. The handbook will be of particular interest to Fire and Rescue Services in Europe, and all public and private organisations involved in work associated with environmental fire risk assessment and management, such as forestry organisations, civil protection authorities and other government agencies in Europe and the wider world.

Overordnet Referat Denne håndbog dokumenterer de møder og materialer, der blev produceret under et europæisk seminar holdt af Frederikssund-Halsnæs Brand- & Redningsberedskab (Danmark) – fra den 28. september til 1. oktober 2009. Seminaret var det andet af fire seminarer, der vil blive afholdt i løbet af det toårs ANSFR-projekt: Utilsigtet, naturlig og social brandrisiko (ANSFR): Forebyggelse og formindskelse af de menneskelige og finansielle omkostninger ved brand gennem effektiv risikovurdering og administration”. ANSFR-projektet styres og koordineres af Northumberland Fire and Rescue Service (Storbritannien), som er i tæt samarbejde med Frederikssund-Halsnæs Brand og Redningsberedskab (Danmark), Corpo Nazionale dei Vigili del Fuoco – Nucleo Investigativo Antincendi (NIA) (Italien), og Emergency Services College (Finland), South West Finland Emergency Services (Finland) og Kanta-Häme Fire and Rescue Service (Finland). PEuropa-Kommissionens Generaldirektorat for Miljø medfinansierer projektet under det finansielle instrument til civilbeskyttelse, Opfordring til forslag 2008 (Legat: 070401/2008/507848/SUB/A3). ANSFR-projektets mål er at udvikle nye rammer for identificering, vurdering og administration af utilsigtet, naturlig/miljømæssig og social brandrisiko. Materialerne udviklet i dette projekt vil hjælpe Brand- og Redningsberedskaber i Europa med at beskytte liv, ejendom og miljøet gennem den effektive vurdering og administration af brandrisici. ANSFR-projektet er inddelt i tre nøglearbejdskategorier: utilsigtet brandrisiko, naturlig brandrisiko; og social brandrisiko. Målet med Northumberland-seminaret var for deltagerne "at udvikle en god forståelse for miljømæssig brandrisikovurdering og de administrationspraksisser, der i øjeblikket er indført af partnerorganisationerne, samt at diskutere og debattere potentielle synergier og forbedringer af disse praksisser til effektiv brug i alle projektlandene." Seminaret fokuserede på vurderingen og administrationen af brande i landlige/udendørs omgivelser såsom skovbrande, skovbrande, brande på hedelandskaber, græsmarksbrande, og brande på landbrugsjord. Der blev også diskuteret og refereret til andre typer udendørsbrande såsom hedebrande og brande i kystområder. Arrangementet nød godt af deltagelse og bidrag fra en række kampklare brandmænd med speciale i skovbrande samt forsknings- og projektspecialister. Baseret på de beviser, der blev fremsat og analyseret i den komplette evalueringsrapport efterarrangementet, konkluderede Northumberland Fire and Rescue Service og Fredrikssund-Halsnæs Brand- og Redningsberedskab i fællesskab, at seminaret opfyldte 3 alle dets foruddefinerede uddannelsesmål og leverede alle tre ønskværdige udfald. Følgelig blev det konkluderet, at arrangementet opnåede sit hovedformål. Arrangementet var en endnu større succes, hvis man tager i betragtning, at et ekstra uforudset resultat blev opnået. En række af de tilstedeværende organisationer ved seminaret blev enige om at samarbejde på et senere tidspunkt om at levere og modtage teoretisk og praktisk træning i værktøjer og teknikker til risikoprognose, der kan bruges til en mere sikker og effektiv bekæmpelse af skovbrande. Derudover indvilligede brandmænd med speciale i skovbrande fra Northumberland

Probabilmente questa consonanza di sentimenti ha radice nel fatto che il lavoro di tesi che ho svolto è stato possibile grazie alla collaborazione e l’aiuto di molte persone la cui competenza professionale e scientifica si accompagna, altrettanto armonicamente, a grandi qualità umane che hanno reso l’interazione tanto utile quanto gratificante. Ringrazio il Corpo Forestale e di Vigilanza Ambientale della Regione Autonoma della Sardegna al quale appartengo, che mi ha concesso un periodo di aspettativa per Dottorato di Ricerca, ed il dipartimento DipNeT dell’Università di Sassari presso il quale sono stato seguito e consigliato durante lo svolgimento. In particolare ringrazio la Professoressa Donatella Spano ed il Dottor Costantino Sirca che, lasciandomi piena autonomia nella ricerca, hanno comunque guidato il mio lavoro, la Dottoressa Valentina Bacciu per i preziosi confronti, il Dottor Michele Salis non solo per i numerosi consigli ma anche per i concreti contributi inerenti la simulazione degli incendi. Un sentito ringraziamento va all’amica Sweta Gupta, per essersi tanto profusa nel correggere il mio inglese.

Description of Reforms and Investments A. COMPONENT 1.1: POWER UP This component of the Greek recovery and resilience plan targets reforms and investments to increase the weight of renewable energy sources in the electricity system and facilitate Greece’s process of decarbonisation. Reforms shall simplify licensing rules for renewable energy investment, make the electricity market more efficient, and secure the financial sustainability of support schemes. The component also includes key investments in networks to complete the interconnection with the Cyclades islands and make electricity distribution more environment-friendly and able to absorb a greater share of renewable energy. Storage systems shall also support the decarbonisation of the economy through accumulating surplus renewable electricity. Land rehabilitation shall also be supported in areas currently used as lignite mines, as a step of the just transition process in the territories most affected by the phase-out of lignite. The component is in line with the National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP) and supports addressing the country-specific recommendations on public and private investment (Country Specific Recommendation 3 of 2020 and Country Specific Recommendation 2 of 2019). It is expected that no measure in this component does significant harm to environmental objectives within the meaning of Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852, taking into account the description of the measures and the mitigating steps set out in the recovery and resilience plan in accordance with the Do No Significant Harm Technical Guidance (2021/C58/01).
