Carbon monitoring data on GFW provides information on where forests are gaining or losing carbon. Read about the latest updates to the model.

Climate change is making forest fires worse, and vice-versa — creating a vicious “climate-fire feedback loop.”

With emissions from deforestation and other disturbances like fires rising, the world’s forests risk shifting from a carbon sink to a carbon source.

New research shows that naturally regenerating “secondary forests” could be especially powerful for fighting climate change.

New research “translates” global forest carbon flux data into the same categories countries use to report their national GHG inventories.

Canada’s 2023 wildfires burned 7.8 Mha of forests, emitting 3 billion tons of carbon, 25% more than from all tropical primary forest loss combined in 2023.
