摘要

With dramatic photographs of massive fires blazing through human communities across the western United States, perennially gracing the news each summer, wildfire in the face of climate change has become a hot topic in popular culture in recent years. The forest management community, in contrast, has long debated how best to safely and effectively manage fires in a way that protects human lives and property while also preserving ecological stability in western United States forests. In the absence of a fully settled solution, the Ninth Circuit's recent decision in Bark v. United States Forest Service (USFS) demonstrated the importance of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) in ensuring that the USFS at least fully and transparently considers all relevant factors when assessing the relationships between a forest management decision, wildfire, and climate change. The Trump administration's rescission of the 1978 NEPA regulations and the Obama administration's 2016 Final Guidance for Federal Departments and Agencies on Consideration of Greenhouse Gas Emissions and the Effects of Climate Change in National Environmental Policy Act Reviews (2016 GHG Guidance), however, severely undercut federal agencies' obligations to consider climate change and incorporate meaningful opportunities for public participation in its environmental analyses of major federal actions. This Chapter proposes that, to provide support for USFS to better manage forests and fires in a way that builds adaptive resilience and thus better protects both human and ecological communities in the long term, the Biden administration should repromulgate the 1978 NEPA regulations and the 2016 GHG Guidance. The Chapter highlights components of these policies that are particularly useful for managing fire in a climate-changed world, and suggests possible improvements to better equip USFS to make intelligent and informed decisions around forests, fires, and climate change.
