Canada's 2024 wildfire season ranked as the second-worst in emissions over the past two decades, following the record-breaking 2023 season. The west experienced unprecedented emission levels, with smoke reaching as far as #Europe and significantly worsening #AirPollution. 🌍🔥

Key highlights:

Global #WildfireEmissions are on the rise, with #Canada experiencing record-breaking years in 2023 and 2024. In contrast, emissions in #TropicalAfrica have been declining consistently over the last two decades.

#EarthObservation and #Modeling are crucial for wildfire monitoring and estimating #CarbonEmissions, yet challenges persist—#EmissionFactors, fuel variability, and sensor uncertainties.
