And according to a study published today by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK), the coming decades are likely to see the wildfire risk in Europe worsen.

The researchers found that even with significantly stronger climate action, 39% more land could be burning annually by the end of the century than it is today.

"If we continue to produce more emissions and global temperatures rise by around 3.6 degrees Celsius (6.48 Fahrenheit), wildfires will become much more frequent, especially in the Mediterranean region and across large parts of western and central Europe, including areas that have experienced few fires so far," said PIK researcher Maik Billing, lead author of the study published in the scientific journal Global Change Biology.
