This issue highlights... 🔍 New science on ‘snow-eater heatwaves’, AMOC stability and forest fires. 🇺🇸 The Trump administration pulled funding for a key Arctic ‘report card’. 🌳 Carbon Brief unpacked why land-use emissions have fallen this century.

Global deforestation and forest growth, 1980-2020, split into emissions from deforestation, including permanent deforestation and deforestation in shifting cultivation cycles; emissions from peat drainage and peat fires; removals from forest growth, including afforestation, reforestation and shifting cultivation cycles; fluxes from wood harvest and other forest management; and, finally, emissions and removals related to other land-use transitions. Data from Friedlingstein et al (2026). Chart by Carbon Brief.
