A new study warns that roughly 300,000 structures in the United States could burn over the next few decades as wildfire risk is on track to triple by 2060.

The findings have drawn attention amid ongoing wildfires and rising concerns about climate change impacts.
Why now: Fresh research quantifying a sharp rise in wildfire destruction risk is prompting debate about climate action and adaptation.
