Paris, France – Wildfires made more frequent and intense by climate change released significant quantities of CO2 into the air in 2023-2024, said a first-of-its-kind annual study published Wednesday.

These were among the conclusions in a new study, “State of Wildfires”, published in the journal Earth System Science Data. In Canada alone, the fires forced the evacuations of 232,000 people and eight firefighters lost their lives.“Last year, fires killed people, destroyed homes and infrastructure, caused mass evacuations, threatened livelihoods and damaged vital ecosystems,” said Matthew Jones of the University of East Anglia and lead author of the study.
