Annual area burnt by wildfires, 2012 to 2024

The chart on this page shows the total area burned by wildfires annually, measured in hectares. It uses satellite data from the Global Wildfire Information System (GWIS) and highlights the long-term trends in wildfire activity globally. The chart reflects fluctuations in burned areas due to factors like regional climate variations, land management practices, and human intervention. It helps visualize the environmental impact of wildfires across different time periods.

CO₂ emissions dataset

The CO₂ emissions dataset highlights the significant contribution of human activities to fossil CO2 emissions, which stem from coal, oil, gas, flaring, cement, steel, and other industrial processes. It underscores the large-scale impact of sectors such as electricity and heat production, transportation, agriculture, forestry, and manufacturing on greenhouse gas emissions. The dataset shows a substantial increase in global CO2 emissions over time, with major emitters like the United States and China playing key roles.

Notably, these emissions figures exclude the effects of land use changes, deforestation, and vegetation loss, offering a focused view on industrial and energy-related emissions.
