Global Fire Management Hub Hosts First-Ever Plenary in Rome

The first Plenary of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations Global Fire Management Hub (Fire Hub) brought together over 600 participants from across the globe in Rome (and online) this June.

The hybrid event marked a critical milestone for accelerating coordinated, inclusive, and evidence-based action on Integrated Fire Management (IFM). Over three days, representatives from governments, Indigenous Peoples, local communities, practitioners, researchers, civil society, international organizations, and the private sector engaged in high-level dialogues, technical exchanges, and knowledge-sharing across 18 plenary sessions and side events.

The Plenary provided a platform to move from discussion to implementation, strengthening partnerships, launching technical working groups, and reaffirming global commitment to advancing IFM as an urgent, shared responsibility.
