As global temperatures continue to shatter records, wildfires are no longer seasonal threats but permanent features of a burning planet. This press conference pulls back the curtain on the forensic evidence of a world in flux as it moves beyond abstract data to confront the raw friction between human preparedness and climate reality. Scientists will discuss the urgent blueprints required to navigate this landscape before the window for effective adaptation closes for good.
