Exploring environmental justice in fire governance through arts-based approaches
Project Outline. Wildfires are one of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time, causing devastating impacts in many parts of the world, including fire-prone regions such as California, Australia and the Mediterranean, but also increasingly in other regions such as Siberia and Alaska.
