Managing Wildfire Risk for Investable Forests
Every Tree, Every Fire: A Living Map of Forest Risk
Co-hosted by CTrees and Earth Fire Alliance (EFA) at the Doris Duke Foundation’s Treehouse, this New York Climate Week event will bring two missions into one room: CTrees' work to see every tree on Earth and EFA's mission to make every fire visible with the FireSat constellation.
Together, they point toward a living map of forest risk and a new ability to act on it.
Coming out of the event, the goal is a shared blueprint for how forest monitoring and the finance, policy, and management it informs can co-evolve to make healthy, fire-resilient forests possible.
Panel 1 | The Need
The first panel focuses on the people who carry wildfire risk today. Drawing on the knowledge of managers, communities, scientists, and the insurers and investors exposed to large-scale fire, panelists will explore what changes when forests and the fires that threaten them can finally be seen at full resolution.
Chris Anthony, Founder and CEO, FireWERX
Evrim Bunn, Senior Advisor, US Wildland Fire Service
Greg Cooper, Director of Conservation Implementation, Sustainable Forestry Initiative
Brian Kitler, Chief Program Officer, Resilient Forests, American Forests
Chris Woodall, Director of US Forest Science and Policy, CTrees (moderator)
Panel 2 | The Reveal
The second panel turns to what that convergence unlocks: FireSat's global wildfire monitoring in concert with CTrees' tree-scale biometrics and carbon accounting, and the resilience, stewardship, and investment decisions the combined signal makes possible.
