Four Shared Pillars to 2030
A collaborative framework for wildfire resilience
The Accelerator prioritizes tropical forest countries, with an initial focus on the Amazon Basin—one of the world’s most fire-threatened regions. In the spirit of South–South cooperation, it remains open to collaboration and shared learning with other tropical regions facing similar wildfire risks.
The Four Pillars
- Center Traditional Knowledge and IPLC Leadership
- Mobilize Sustainable and Equitable Fire Finance
- Embed Wildfire Management into Climate and Forest Policy
- Advance Global and Regional Collaboration

A collaborative framework for wildfire resilience

2.
Mobilize Sustainable and Equitable Fire Finance
Global fire finance must shift from reaction to prevention. We will promote national and regional funding instruments for integrated fire management, advocate for dedicated wildfire windows in mechanisms such as the GEF, GCF, and development banks, and align all financing with national public finance systems. We support public–private models that channel long-term investment into resilience and sustainable forest economies, including REDD+ and the Tropical Forest Forever Facility.
3.
Embed Wildfire Management into Climate and Forest Policy
Wildfire risk must be addressed as a systemic climate and development challenge. We will integrate wildfire governance into NDCs, REDD+ strategies, and forest policies; strengthen cross-ministerial coordination; and transparently report wildfire-related emissions under the Paris Agreement.
4.
Advance Global and Regional Collaboration
We commit to deepening collaboration through platforms such as the FCLP, Global Fire Management Hub, ACTO, and AU Great Green Wall, integrating new technologies and forging synergies with initiatives such as FireSat and the Earth Fire Alliance, while advancing Tropical Dialogues to Speed and Scale Wildfire Response – evolving by 2026 into a Global Dialogue on Wildfire Governance with strong South–South and North–South cooperation.
