The majority of negative consequences caused by extreme and natural hazards are qualified as weather and climate-related emergency situations. Programs and measures developed to reduce climate risks for economics should be based on scientific background, R&D projects and ongoing monitoring. Fire has always been remained as the main natural factor devastating forest ecosystems and outlining the status and resource potential of boreal forests. Extremely drought – afflicted hot summer and dry cold winter trigger the risks and consequences of forest fires thus affecting wildlife biodiversity and forest ecosystems performance in terms of СО₂ accumulation from the atmosphere. Multifunctional and sustainable forest management in extreme natural conditions should be initiated on reliable (scientifically-proven) evaluation of ecological and resource potential of the forests with economically-effective approach developed to enhance sustainability of ecosystems to fires and insect invasion.
