Climate

For a civic engagement

We are facing an unprecedented environmental crisis, and it is time to act. Many documentaries are already talking about climate change, the need to a global awakening and a change in our behavior and habits. These films have had incredible impacts around the world, especially in terms of raising public awareness.

 

MEGAFIRES is one of those documentaries — and much more. MEGAFIRES is a documentary integrated into a “community engagement strategy”. A documentary that seeks to build a global movement of communities ready to face the devastating wildfires. A documentary that will have a long-term impact by helping communities develop their ability — their capacity and ability to make decisions and implement eco-friendly solutions. A documentary that encourages a change in behavior and that promotes climate resilience at the local level.

Community engagement is essential to combat climate change. Each community is different, each community faces different problems, and each community will develop unique solutions. MEGAFIRES goes beyond simply delivering information to communities. MEGAFIRES seeks to build the capacity of the communities involved, and to work with them to find solutions to one of our greatest challenges: adapting to the inevitable climate change. We will do this by following three tracks: Living with the risks of devastating fires, preparing for future devastating fires, and minimizing the impacts of catastrophic fires.

Our communities must be at the heart of our fight against climate change, a principle on which our project is based. Community engagement brings people involved to understand the risks they face, to change their behaviors, and to get involved in the development of local solutions — local solutions that can inspire global action.

We want to engage these communities and their inhabitants. We want to mobilize and work with a wide range of partners, at local, regional and national level. We want to strengthen the formal and informal networks that exist. We want to educate, mobilize, raise awareness, help, inspire. We want to give communities the power to solve their problems, to find solutions, and to improve their living conditions. We want to unite these communities around a common desire to tackle the devastating fires.
