Greenpeace Warns of Fires in North Africa
Greenpeace Middle East and North Africa highlighted the escalating forest fires in Algeria, Tunisia, and Morocco, considering them a sign of the worsening climate crisis in the region. They pointed out that these fires—approximately 1,550 fires in Algeria over 12 days resulting in the deaths of six people and injuries to dozens, 600 fires in Tunisia over the course of a month, and wildfires in the Tamentmamar region of Morocco—reflect the increasing occurrence of extreme climate phenomena caused by rising temperatures, drought waves, and environmental degradation. Greenpeace stressed that the region is highly vulnerable to these impacts, with losses encompassing material, human, and environmental damages. The organization emphasized the urgent need for climate action to reduce carbon emissions, strengthen adaptation efforts, and hold responsible countries accountable for their historical emissions to ensure funding to support affected communities.
