2023 North American Wildfires

However, as the effects of climate change increase, disaster seasons are becoming less accurate. Since 2022, CDP's wildfire profile has run by calendar year. This profile covers wildfires in Canada, Mexico and the United States.

Climate change is having a significant impact on wildfires around the world and across the U.S. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, "Climate change, including increased heat, extended drought, and a thirsty atmosphere, has been a key driver in increasing the risk and extent of wildfires in the western United States during the last two decades. Wildfires require the alignment of a number of factors, including temperature, humidity, and the lack of moisture in fuels, such as trees, shrubs, grasses, and forest debris. All these factors would have strong direct or indirect links to climate variability and climate change".
