This discussion paper presents a 10-point action plan for developing and implementing a pan-European Decision Support System (DSS) to strengthen wildfire risk mitigation and management across Europe. As climate change, land-use transformations, and increasing human presence in fire-prone areas intensify the frequency and severity of wildfires, existing national systems are no longer sufficient to address growing cross-border challenges. The proposed DSS aims to provide a harmonized, data-driven, and technologically advanced platform integrating prevention, preparedness, early warning, response coordination, and post-fire recovery. The action plan outlines three core dimensions: establishing the foundational framework—including shared definitions, data standards, interoperability mechanisms, and legal clarity; defining system features such as advanced technologies, predictive analytics, modular architecture, and user-centred functionalities; and creating the enabling governance environment through regulatory alignment, long-term funding, institutional leadership, and capacity building. The paper emphasizes the importance of incorporating social and behavioural insights, ensuring inclusivity, and leveraging stakeholder co-creation to guarantee usability and broad adoption. By fostering real-time intelligence flows and coordinated decision-making, a pan-European DSS would enhance resilience, reduce wildfire impacts, and support sustainable management of Europe’s fire-adapted landscapes.
