This report is one of a series of Bushfire Science Reports prepared by the Bushfire Recovery Project, presenting the latest evidence from the scientific literature about bushfires, climate change and the native forests of southern and eastern Australia
This report explores how to value the environmental impacts of bushfires, illustrated with a simple analysis of how greenhouse gas emissions from bushfires reduce forest carbon (stocks), which are then partially restored through natural
regrowth (flows).
This paper provides a summary of three separate papers looking at the impact and responses to the 2020 Black Summer Bushfire crisis, as well as the COVID-19 pandemic that followed.
