Abstract

The majority of negative consequences caused by extreme and natural hazards are qualified as weather and climate-related emergency situations. Programs and measures developed to reduce climate risks for economics should be based on scientific background, R&D projects and ongoing monitoring. Fire has always been remained as the main natural factor devastating forest ecosystems and outlining the status and resource potential of boreal forests. Extremely drought – afflicted hot summer and dry cold winter trigger the risks and consequences of forest fires thus affecting wildlife biodiversity and forest ecosystems performance in terms of СО2 accumulation from the atmosphere. Multifunctional and sustainable forest management in extreme natural conditions should be initiated on reliable (scientifically-proven) evaluation of ecological and resource potential of the forests with economically-effective approach developed to enhance sustainability of ecosystems to fires and insect invasion.
