About this Dataset

Wildfire Exposure

The dataset provides a global assessment of burned area, and forest and population exposure to wildfire danger. Exposure indicators to wildfire have been prepared by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). Please see the working paper for a more complete description of the methods.

The datasets span the period 2000-2024, depending on data availability and are the result of the use of a variety of geospatial data sources, including data from the Global Wildfire Information System, ESA CCI land cover data and Global Human Settlement Layer population data. The dataset has a global coverage on a national level; on the sub-national TL2 level (i.e. large subnational regions) results are reported for all OECD countries as well as for Argentina, Brazil, China, India, Indonesia and South Africa. A number of aggregates are included: Euro area, European Union, Advanced economies, Emerging market economies, G7, G20, OECD, OECD Europe, OECD Asia Oceania, OECD Americas and the LAC region.

Data source(s) : Global Wildfire Information System burned area data, Copernicus Climate Change Initiative land cover data and Global Human Settlement Layer population grid data.
