How can El Niño affect the Amazon Rainforest?🌴

In South America, El Niño tends to reduce rainfall during the wet season, leaving the subsequent dry season even more arid and fire-prone. This is particularly true in the Amazon, where forests are not well-adapted to fire.

The two most recent strong El Niño events, in 2015-2016 and 2023-2024, both produced record-breaking fire seasons in Brazil. In both 2016 and 2024, fires burned more than 2.3 million hectares of forest in Brazil — more than 4 times the annual average from 2001 to 2025, according to data on WRI’s Global Forest Watch platform.

WRI experts answer questions on what a Super El Niño could mean for water, food and forests — as well as how communities can prepare for the impacts here👉 https://t.co/xaOCY7QooX

New article highlights the introductory Jupyter notebook from the @esa Climate Change Initiative Biomass project that enables you to access, visualise and analyse global above ground biomass data independently. You can track changes in forest carbon stocks over time at resolutions ranging from 100 m to 50 km, covering the period from 2005 to 2024. The article on above-ground biomass and forest monitoring is now online: https://t.co/3mmPkfq1L4

Mangroves are one of the world’s best coastal defenses against hurricanes. And as hurricanes intensify from the effects of climate change, saving mangroves means saving lives when strong storms hit. #NaturalClimateSolutions
