Forest carbon offset projects, crucial for climate change mitigation through preservation, reforestation, and improved managementhave become increasingly vulnerable to climate-related disasters, with wildfires in the certain parts of the world burning vast areas of these initiatives in recent years. To know more about the which projects and ecosystems are at risk, read our complete blog here.

In this tutorial we determine the risk from wildfire to forest carbon offset proejcts across the globe.

Will achieve this by intersecting the Fire-Climate Classification data along with the geospatial database of carbon projects.
