Overview

This annual report analyzes wildfire activity and carbon emissions in 2024-2025, suggesting climate change increases extreme fire likelihood.

Key Points

  • Wildfires in 2024–2025 produced 2.2 Pg C emissions, 9% above average despite lower burned area.
  • Extreme fire seasons in regions like Bolivia and Southern California led to significant damages and fatalities.
  • Model projections indicate future wildfire events could increase by up to 57% in key tropical regions by 2100.
  • Strategic climate action may limit frequency increases to below 15% in affected areas, supporting adaptation efforts.
