Abstract
The ninth International Conference on Forest Fire Research, together with the 17th International Wildland Fire Safety Summit was held in November 2022. This joint conference brought together several hundred presentations in the field of wildfire research. This special issue of the International Journal of Wildland Fire includes several papers describing work presented at the conference. Due to the large number and variety of papers submitted, the special issue is being published in several parts. Part 1 of the special issue was published, in January 2023, with a set of eight papers. This Foreword to Part 2 of the special issue introduces 10 new papers on various topics that include: modelling of ignition probability, fire behaviour modelling, wildfire hazard mapping, fire management policies, imagery and mapping, and wildland–urban interface. All papers in the special issue are published Open Access.
