Support the Future of Wildfire Resilience
Become a sponsor of the Design for Wildfire school
Factors including climate change and the urbanisation of wildlands are changing wildfire behaviour in the California, the wider Western United States, and beyond, posing unprecedented challenges to both natural and built environments. The Design for Wildfire school, launching in 2025, is a pioneering initiative dedicated to addressing these challenges through education, research, and collaboration. A first-in-kind hybrid virtual and pop-up school, it empowers both students and professionals alike with the knowledge and tools to develop nature-inspired wildfire resilience solutions.
By sponsoring the Design for Wildfire school, organisations have the opportunity to make a tangible impact on global sustainability and resilience efforts - supporting cutting-edge design, engineering, and planning research in the field, lab, and online; funding the creation of course materials, digital publications, and educational toolkits for use by students, policymakers, and practitioners, and specialist equipment, software, and technical resources essential for delivering high-quality education and research; helping to develop innovative design prototypes inspired by nature’s adaptations to fire-prone environments; providing resources for temporary pop-up classrooms and adaptive, nomadic learning spaces, and for public lectures, workshops, and educational events featuring leading experts in wildfire science, climate adaptation, and bio-inspired design.
