Managing forest fires in a changing climate
This study presents a micro-level assessment of forest fires by identifying the states most vulnerable to high-intensity forest fires and their district hotspots while taking climate change indicators into consideration. The study also investigates the impact of forest fires on local air pollution. The study argues that a comprehensive assessment at a localised level can help mitigate forest fires.
