Out today in @science.org, we show wildfire disasters have surged in the last decade, as climate change intensifies fire weather and exacerbates other vulnerabilities.

Climate-linked escalation of societally disastrous wildfires
Climate change and land mismanagement are creating increasingly fire-prone built and natural environments. However, despite worsening fire seasons, evidence is lacking globally for trends in socially ...

Whenever a story appears about increasing risk of wildfires, some helpful chap always likes to comment “that global burned area is declining so stop being alarmist.” A new paper explains the paradox.

Increasing global human exposure to wildland fires despite declining burned area
Although half of Earth’s population resides in the wildland-urban interface, human exposure to wildland fires remains unquantified. We show that the population directly exposed to wildland fires incre...

Globally, the population directly exposed to wildland fires increased 40%, 2002-2021, despite 26% decline in burned area. Africa is, by far, the global hot spot for this exposure, w/ 85% of global exposures occurring in Africa in that period.

🔥 Our new research in @science.org shows that people are increasingly exposed to fires globally, driven by overlapping shifts in where #fires occur and where people live.
But changes in exposure vary hugely by region and are shaped by different population dynamics.👇
