In recent years, fires in the Zagros-Forests in Lorestan have become a complex environmental and social crisis due to the combination of human factors, climate change, poverty and weak governance. This research aims to provide local resilience policies for Zagros-Forest fires based on adaptation to climate change.

The present research method uses qualitative methods and case studies. Data was collected through documentary analysis and semi-structured interviews with fifteen experts from the counties. Data analysis was carried out on a rigorous framework (recognizing the genetic structure of the disaster, predicting future trends and rigorous learning), and the proposed policies were structured based on the Sendai framework.

The findings show that the origin of most fires is human (intentional and unintentional) and poverty, livelihood dependence on the forest, climate change, weak inter-organizational coordination, lack of deterrence of laws and lack of insurance system to compensate the affected communities are the most important factors exacerbating the problem. Based on the findings, fourteen policies and action plans have been presented in four areas: understanding risk, strengthening risk governance, investing in risk reduction and response and better recovery, targeting and evaluation indicators.

moving from a reactive approach to resilience requires integrating indigenous knowledge and new technologies, strengthening participatory structures, reforming deterrent laws, and creating sustainable financing mechanisms. The proposed framework can be a basis for planning and budgeting at the level of counties in Lorestan and other Zagros regions and creating areas for learning from past experiences for future resilience.
