Aims at developing, validating and demonstrating a set of services that employ state-of-the-art observational and modeling techniques with the aim to assist interested authorities in better preventing, addressing and finally mitigating the adverse impacts of droughts and wildland fires, with the latter being intensified due to climate change. In this context, the overall objective is to deliver an innovative, integrated observation and early warning system that will serve as a key tool for protecting the environment and, consequently, promoting sustainable development in the vulnerable region of southeast Mediterranean.
