How can management evolve from emergency response into a strategic tool for territorial planning and ?
This challenge lies at the core of the collaboration between AICS Tirana and CIMA Research Foundation in . Through the for Forests – Sustainable Forest Management in Albania programme, funded by the European Union and implemented by Agenzia Italiana per la Cooperazione allo Sviluppo in partnership with United Nations Development Programme - UNDP, we are supporting a science-based approach that combines wildfire risk assessment, climate projections, early warning systems and forest planning to strengthen resilience and sustainable forest management.
As climate change increases the frequency and intensity of droughts and extreme events, understanding future wildfire risk is becoming essential for protecting ecosystems, communities and local economies.
These topics were discussed at the SmartAgri&SuSY 2026 International Conference, held in Tirana from 7 to 10 June and organized by the Università di Genova and the Universiteti Politeknik i Tiranës, bringing together researchers, institutions and practitioners working towards more sustainable and resilient systems.
During the conference, Miranda Deda Kalaja, Director of the Albanian Branch of CIMA Research Foundation, and Giovanni Timiliero, project coordinator of AICS Tirana, shared perspectives on how scientific knowledge, institutional cooperation and innovative risk assessment tools can support Albania's climate adaptation pathway and alignment with European standards.
