Global forest-related emissions are associated with a variety of drivers, including commodity-driven deforestation, wildfires, and forestry. Emissions linked to these drivers also vary greatly by country. For example, between 2001 and 2023, almost 65 percent of average annual forest gross emissions in Brazil were caused by commodity-deforestation. In comparison, 66 percent of forest emissions in Canada during this period were due to wildfires. Forest fires in Canada have burned an average of 2.2 million hectares annually since 2000.
