This is a YouTube video from a Woodwell Climate side event at COP29 (uploaded by Tod Hynes) about global wildfire emissions—particularly boreal wildfires—and their implications for the global carbon budget and the Paris Agreement temperature goals. The speaker emphasizes that recent large wildfire events across North America, the Amazon, Europe, and elsewhere have local and regional health impacts and are starting to substantially consume the remaining global carbon budget available to meet Paris targets.

Chapters

You can see this year significant wildfire events across North America, in the Amazon, in Europe, in other locations. These have significant local impacts, regional health impacts, but they also reduce the global carbon budget that's available. Our side event shows that wildfire emissions globally are starting to eat up the global carbon budget available for the Paris Agreement's temperature goals in a very significant way. And that's the message that we're trying to introduce here, based on our science.
