Since 2001 GFMC is serving as coordinator and facilitator of the UNISDR Wildland Fire Advisory Group and the UNISDR Global Wildland Fire Network, a global voluntary network that is providing policy advice, and science and technology transfer to enable nations:

• to reduce the negative impacts of vegetation fires (“wildland fires”) on the environment and humanity; and
• to advance the knowledge and application of the ecologically and environmentally benign role of natural fire in fire-dependent ecosystems, and sustainable application of fire in land-use systems.

GFMC provides a global portal for wildland fire documentation, information and monitoring and is publicly accessible through the Internet.
