Wildfires are almost inevitably portrayed as disasters, ignited through carelessness or arson with a massive impact on people?s lives, fauna and flora, and the global carbon budget. Yet recent research, including by the ?Just Fires? group of the Leverhulme Centre for Wildfires, Environment and Society (e.g. Smith et al., 2024), highlights the important role of traditional fire management in supporting people?s livelihoods and creating a patchy biodiverse landscape which mitigates against unintentional and disastrous fires. The project aims to explore the framing of landscape fire in international conventions and agreements as a first step to understanding how these affect national- and local-level fire governance. The study will focus on key international policy frameworks, including the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and other relevant agreements, to analyse how fire is positioned in relation to climate, biodiversity, and land use governance. This will be achieved by:

  1. Analysing the extent to which international policies directly target landscape fires, and/or indirectly affect fires (e.g. by changing land use);
  2. Exploring potentially contradictory framings of landscape fires in relation to their impacts on carbon emissions, biodiversity and human wellbeing and livelihoods. 

The successful applicant will contribute to this study by: 

  1. Undertaking a literature review on international fire policy (about 30 hours), 
  2. Identifying relevant policy documents at international level (about 30 hours), and 
  3. Undertaking initial coding of the policy documents (about 40 hours).

Depending on the outcomes of the research, there may be an opportunity to contribute to a publication on international fire policy. The successful applicant will join the Leverhulme Wildfires Centre and be supervised by Professor Kate Schreckenberg (Geography, KCL) and Dr Will Hayes (Geography, RHUL).
