Evolution of the legal prevention measures concerning forest fire risk in a context of climate change

摘要

In a context of climate change that may increase the extreme events and so the forest fires, the question is to know whether the legal framework is relevant or it should keep on evolving to manage the forest fire prevention risk. Many reports concerning the climate change and also the forest fire risk in France pointed the necessary adaptation of the public policies and the lack of the legal prevention measures. So, the question is what the main legal measures are to be developed or to be implemented in the territories actually exposed to forest fire which could be more exposed to this risk and the territories which are not exposed for that moment but which could be exposed in the future.
