Nearly every year Canada experiences major wildfire events, affecting large parts of the country. This happens on the back of ongoing drought conditions and hot and dry springs and summers, exasperated by the effects of climate change.

In September 2024, heavy and persistent rainfall caused severe flooding across Poland, impacting over 50,000 people and displacing thousands from their homes.

In February 2024 Chile experienced the worst wildfires of the century, with over 10K hectares burnt, 6K houses destroyed and more than 130 lives lost.
