Wildfires are creating a dangerous climate feedback loop where rising temperatures increase fire frequency, releasing more carbon and further accelerating warming. Forest fire emissions have risen 60% since 2001, with extreme fire years becoming significantly more likely than they were a century ago. Addressing this requires a data to action pipeline using strategic science and new tracking technologies. By improving how we monitor and manage forest carbon, it is possible to mitigate these emissions and protect long term carbon sinks.
