Welcome to the #Pyrocene:
Global forest fires emitted 33.9 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) between 2001 and 2022
🔥 Increase partially driven by the frequent #heatwaves and #droughts caused by #ClimateChange
🔥 on average, the area of forest burnt by fires between 2001 and 2022 was 11 times the size of the 🌳 forests planted by humans during that period.
🔥 global fire carbon emissions are expected to double,
🔥 carbon emissions from forest fires need to be included in national climate plans with a monitoring, reporting and verification system for such emissions.
