✦AI Summary
Risk experts warn that South Africa must prepare for a more dangerous era of wildfires driven by climate change and rising temperatures. The report suggests that wildfires should be treated as systemic strategic risks rather than seasonal events.
The destructive fires sweeping through France and Spain, following recent emergencies in Greece and other parts of southern Europe, should be treated as a warning to South Africa that extreme heat, shifting rainfall patterns and rapidly changing vegetation conditions are creating a far more volatile fire environment.
