Kind: research · Impact: medium

## In brief

- The latest global State of Wildfires report, co-led by the University of East Anglia, found that the extreme fire-prone weather in Spain and Portugal in 2025 was three times more likely due to human-caused climate change.
- The report links the record 2025 Iberian fire season to climate change, and the headline states that the area burned was three times larger.

## Why it matters

The findings quantify how human-caused climate change raises the likelihood of extreme fire weather, which helps scientists, planners and policymakers assess future wildfire risk in southern Europe.
