We combine the model with stylized scenarios to show that fuel management interventions could have large health benefits and that future health impacts from climate-change–induced wildfire smoke could approach projected overall increases in temperature-related mortality from climate change—but that both estimates remain uncertain.

Future studies should investigate the economic and social impacts of wildfires in Europe. Research should focus on developing adaptive measures to address the increasing risk of wildfires. The study highlights the need for further research on the effects of climate change on fire weather indices.
