72 wildfires hit the UK this year. That is 72 too many.
As climate risks grow, we need real action to protect our natural landscapes and communities before the next blaze starts. The Liberal Democrats are stepping up with a comprehensive strategy to tackle the crisis:
- Wildfire Resilience Plan: Pooling emergency resources across regions to drastically speed up response times when fires break out.
- Automatic Safety Restrictions: Enforcing automatic bans on high-risk activities (like disposable BBQs) during peak drought conditions.
- Wildfire Prevention Fund: Investing directly in nature-based solutions, including peatland rewetting and strategic buffer zones.
Our environments are worth protecting, and proactive prevention is key.
