Abstract in brief

In 2023, Canada experienced unprecedented wildfires that burned 15 million hectares, causing record evacuations and severe air quality issues across Canada and the northeastern U.S.
Human-induced climate change has significantly increased the likelihood of such large-scale wildfires, particularly in eastern and southwestern Canada, making long fire seasons over five times more probable.
If warming continues, we can expect even more extreme fire seasons in the future, which will have serious impacts on health, society, and ecosystems.
