“…CUIDAR as a project has made visible many of the absences and limitations to children's participatory rights in DRR. It showed that children's rights in such decision-making processes are still far from being implemented in established political agendas, settings or processes (de Almeida et al, 2018). But through local participative experiences, ways of unlocking the potential of hearing and engaging children in decision-making processes became apparent.…”

Available Open Access under CC-BY-NC licence. Disasters are complex environmental, social and cultural events and processes yet disaster management approaches tend to simplify responses and homogenise affected populations. Participatory research with more than 550 children across Europe, detailed in this book argues for a radical transformation in children’s roles in disasters. It shows how more child-centred working in civil protection and emergency planning, that recognises children’s capacities in building resilience, benefits at-risk communities as a whole.

There is growing international concern about the impact of natural hazards and disasters on children and young people. However, very little research has explored children's views of their wildfire experiences. Using creative methods with two groups of primary school children from an inland area, this qualitative study examines Portuguese children's experiences of a wildfire disaster that affected their community in 2017. An inductive qualitative approach was used to explore the children's interpretations of this particular event. The children reported high levels of exposure to the wildfire, either directly (in confronting the actual fire) or indirectly (by observing its impact on nature and their community). The implications of these findings are considered in relation to children's roles in wildfire risk reduction and response.
