Study on climate change predicts increase in wildfire-affected areas across Europe by century's end

Summary

A study led by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research shows that wildfire-affected areas in Europe could increase by 39 percent under low-emission scenarios and by around 192 percent under high-emission scenarios through 2070-2100. Researchers stress that improved fire management, early detection and suppression, and greater investment in firefighter training and equipment could significantly reduce burned areas, though they warn that extreme fires may exceed firefighting capacity.
