Detecting wildfires from 50km away: The role of technology in climate change

Cutting-edge technology now enables firefighters to detect wildfire signals from up to 50 kilometers away, allowing for precise location tracking and faster response times. This advancement is crucial for communities working to mitigate the growing risks posed by climate change.

The World Economic Forum’s report, Innovation and Adaptation in the Climate Crisis, emphasizes the importance of such innovations in helping communities adapt and manage the escalating impacts of a changing climate.

Advanced technology allows firefighters to detect wildfire signals from distances of up to 50 kilometers, enabling precise location tracking.
