to diverse audiences. Risks and opportunities in forest carbon management will be examined using modelling, with scenarios defined in an iterative manner in consultation with DELWP to ensure relevance to emerging management questions. Integrating carbon into modelling frameworks for bushfire risk management reporting- the Carbon Pledge The University of Melbourne This project will provide a scientific basis for integrating measurements of forest carbon into bushfire and forest management and reporting. The enhancement or maintenance of carbon stocks in forests is one means of moderating climate change. However, major bushfires cause significant fluxes of stored carbon because carbon stores This project will enable to describe desirable outcomes and associated metrics for forest carbon in bushfire risk management reporting. It will integrate forest carbon as a value in current modelling frameworks relevant to bushfire risk management (including improved links with LANDIS, Frost, Phoenix, and Woodstock). Finally, it will provide DELWP with improved capacity to assess the carbon impacts of different
