Achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 requires effective carbon dioxide removal (CDR) strategies. In the Alpine region, rewilding through natural reforestation and proforestation is a promising approach to enhance carbon sinks. However, these strategies also increase wildfire risks, which could lead to carbon losses. The REWILD-FIRE project uses the REMAINS model (Pais et, al. 2023) to assess the trade-offs between forest growth and wildfire risks under different land-use scenarios driven by policy and climate change.
