Applying strategic fire management across wooded savannas worldwide

The United Nations has opened public consultation on a world-first global savanna fire management methodology proposed under Article 6.4 of the Paris Agreement.

Developed by Maki Planet Systems, a Corporate Carbon Group climate technology company, the methodology provides the first pathway for applying savanna fire management across wooded savannas worldwide.

A holistic and adaptive approach, integrated savanna fire management combines traditional and Indigenous-led knowledge with policy and modern science to reduce wildfire risk, while delivering key benefits to many stakeholders including communities in the world’s most remote regions.

The opening of the consultation period represents a significant milestone for the method’s authors, providing the first global visibility of the proposed approach and an opportunity for international experts, governments and land managers to review and provide feedback.

Stakeholders, including all land managers in applicable regions as well as the Integrated Fire Management community, are encouraged to provide input before the consultation closes on 11 December 2025.
