The National Academies will plan a workshop addressing greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) from wildland fires, with goals of improving measurements and model projections of emissions, informing management practices that could limit emissions, and considering how changes in these emissions could affect the ability to achieve 'net-zero' GHG emissions targets. In particular, the workshop will consider the likelihood of increasing frequency of megafires in remote regions, where management actions are typically limited, and the potential for these regions to be large GHG emissions sources. Workshop discussions will consider the following topics:

• What is current understanding of how changes in wildland fire GHG emissions could affect the ability to achieve 'net-zero' greenhouse gas emissions targets?
• How are GHG emissions from wildland fires measured and estimated? How could these measurements and estimates be improved?
• How are wildland fire GHG emissions projected to change over decade to century timescales? How could these projections be improved?
• How do global climate models incorporate GHG emissions from wildland fires in projections of decadal to centennial climate change?
• What are possible options for wildland fire prevention and forest management practices that could help limit potential GHG emissions? How can indigenous knowledge on forest and emission management be incorporated in current and future action plans? How could these practices be designed to also address impacts of wildland fires on human health, safety, and ecosystems?
