DESCRIPTION:The State of Wildfires\, established in 2023\, is a joint init
 iative led by the Met Office\, ECMWF\, the University of East Anglia and U
 KCEH in collaboration with international partners\, responding to the incr
 easing frequency and severity of extreme wildfire events worldwide. The an
 nual report reviews major wildfire activity from the previous year and ide
 ntifies four regions that experienced particularly extreme fire–climate 
 conditions. These regional case studies are informed by expert panels and 
 supported by detailed analyses of fire occurrence\, impacts\, and associat
 ed climate drivers. For each region\, the report assesses observed fire tr
 ends\, impacts\, underlying drivers\, climate attribution\, and future pro
 jections. In this talk\, I will present key findings from the 2024–2025 
 report including major fires in LA\, Brazil and the Congo\, and share earl
 y results from analyses underway for the forthcoming 2025–2026 report.
