Forest fires burned twice as much land in 2015-2024 as in 2001-2010. Climate change creates hotter, drier conditions that fuel fires, which release emissions that worsen warming.
Land use causes 25% of emissions, but climate now destroys land back.

A country that invests massively in fossil fuels instead of green energy is not just exacerbating climate change, but also dooming its economy over the short and long terms.

He said: “Does he want anything in return for his money? I promise you absolutely nothing.”
