Wildfires were responsible in 2023
for around 2,170 Megatons of CO2, around 6% of the total worldwide emissions.
On average (2012-2023) 400M hectares burn every year in the world, an area approximately 13.5 times the size of Italy.
Wildfires cost,
only in the United States,
between $394B to $893B.
Experts warn that numbers of wildfires will rise by 50% by 2100, and governments are not prepared to cope with this emergency
