The 2023 edition of Government at a Glance provides a comprehensive overview of public governance and public administration practices in OECD Member and partner countries. It includes indicators on trust in public institutions and satisfaction with public services, as well as evidence on good governance practices in areas such as the policy cycle, budgeting, procurement, infrastructure planning and delivery, regulatory governance, digital government and open government data. Finally, it provides information on what resources public institutions use and how they are managed, including public finances, public employment, and human resources management. Government at a Glance allows for cross-country comparisons and helps identify trends, best practices, and areas for improvement in the public sector.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

2. Portugal is exposed to several (and potential severe) risks
Earthquakes
Tsunamis
Dam breaks
Floods
Wildfires
Industrial accidents
…
01-NOV-1755
3. Wildfires represent the biggest challenge!!!
Frequent - occur every year
Impact on people – potential victims
Impact on local economy (forest, agriculture, agrofood, …)
Impact in the environment
Visibility
Public opinion - political pressure!
4. Who is affected?
People living in small villages - remote areas
Elderly, low income
Owners of small farms
No insurance policies
5. Consequences
The end of local economy
Land abandonment
Fostering vulnerability for local communities
Huge economic losses – more than 1 billion euros (worst years)
Environmental consequences (carbon emission targets), rivers, landslides
6. 1st aproach to solve the problem!
2006 – reform of the civil protection system - following the forest fires of 2003 & 2005
Strengthening responde (firefighting)
New Decree-law for prevention
Visible results
Improvement on fire fighting operations (response side)
But… Still not enough… no effective changes in landscape…
Why? No economic value… progressive abandonment of rural areas, ageing of population
7. Trigger to change the model
Wildfires in 2017
• 17 June
• 15 October
both outside critical period - ~110 victims
2 independent commissions of technical experts have reported the need
for structural and significant changes in several dimensions
8. Reccomendations from Techical experts:
Governance
Land management
Knowledge
Qualification
ICT support and integration
Risk communication (population)
Council of Ministers Resolution – nº 157-A/2017, of October 27th
Integrated National wildfire Management Plan 20-30
9. Council of Ministers Resolution nº 157-A/2017, of October 27th
4 strategic areas (72 initiatives)
Reform the functional model
Improve communities resilience
Improve territory resilience
Capacitation and Qualification
10. Governance
To manage risk efficiently
Integrate prevention & combat (response)
Integrate plans – land use plan, municipal wildfire defence plans, civil
protection plans – include forest fire risk in land use planning and
decision!
Support local organizations who are involved in wildfire mitigation efforts
Dedicate material and financial resources to community mitigation efforts
– fuel management, communitary machinery, water points, structural
shelters reinforcement …
CMR 157-A/2017
11. “Safe Village, Safe People” programme - 1961 villages covered until now
Improve risk communication
national campaign on self protection and risk reduction (behavior)
automatic population warning network implemented at district level (almost 20M
SMS sent in 2018 and 12M SMS in 2019 (sept) )
Improve community resilience
> To modify human behaviour
CMR 157-A/2017

Economic problem // Social problem
Changing paradigm for investment – from response to prevention
Accountability - need to know integrated budget, need to improve risk communication
DRR efforts need to have integrated view
Promote territorial cohesion
Programmes to promote local business, agrofood related activities…
Effective tax breaks to foster rural economy
Increase resilience - self protection
Public acceptance / support
Who benefits from wildfires?
