EWED @EWEDproject

As #EWED comes to a close, we look back on a project that strengthened the link between science and operations for understanding extreme wildfire behaviour. By building the #WildfireDataPortal and advancing shared knowledge, EWED has laid a strong foundation for better decision‑making. This journey continues with #ODET, which builds directly on EWED’s results to further boost Europe’s preparedness and response to #ExtremeWildfireEvents #EWEs. 👉 Follow the @ODETproject to stay connected and discover how this next chapter is turning knowledge into action.

Very nice overview of #EWED's work 👇 Thanks for sharing, @PauCostaF!
