In 2024, global tree cover loss surged due to wildfires, with tropical forests burning 370% more than in 2023, releasing 3.1 gigatonnes of CO₂. Climate change and droughts intensified fires across the US, Canada, EU, and Asia, threatening biodiversity and ecosystems. In India, forest fires are increasingly severe, affecting forest health, wildlife, and local communities. Government measures include fire management, afforestation, and community engagement, while long-term strategies emphasize climate adaptation, monitoring, and resilience building.

The top five producers release more emissions than major oil companies like BP and Shell. Methane from livestock, especially cattle, drives climate change and deforestation. Current industry solutions are insufficient, and urgent policy shifts toward emission targets, sustainable farming, and plant-rich diets are needed to meet climate goals.
Click to View MoreEarth has crossed its first climate tipping point, causing irreversible mass dieback of warm-water coral reefs. Record ocean temperatures have triggered historic bleaching, threatening marine life and human livelihoods, signaling urgent global action to reduce emissions and prevent cascading ecological disasters.
Click to View MoreGlobal warming and deforestation are leading causes of species extinction in India, impacting biodiversity, livelihoods, and climate stability. Addressing them requires strong conservation policies, sustainable development, and community participation.
Click to View MoreDeforestation and global warming are interconnected, threatening ecological and economic security. Clearing forests for development causes biodiversity loss and accelerates climate change, affecting vulnerable communities. Implementing legal frameworks and afforestation programs is challenging, requiring robust policy enforcement and community participation.
