Nov 4, 2024 · World Weather Attribution uses weather observations and climate models to understand how climate change influences the intensity and likelihood of extreme weather events. The studies also assess the role of human vulnerability and exposure in the impacts to highlight the actions needed to prepare for changing weather extremes.

World Weather Attribution is an academic collaboration studying extreme event attribution, calculations of the impact of climate change on extreme meteorological events such as heat waves, droughts, and storms.

Since its inception in 2014, WWA has now performed more than 80 attribution studies on heatwaves, drought, wildfire, storms and extreme rainfall events around the world. The methods used have advanced over the years and have been published in the peer-reviewed scientific literature together with many of the studies of individual events.

Jun 9, 2013 · World Weather Attribution (WWA) is an international effort to analyse and communicate the possible influence of climate change on extreme weather events, such as storms, extreme rainfall, heatwaves, cold spells, and droughts.

Jan 12, 2024 · World Weather Attribution is a collective of climate scientists who use weather observations and climate models to understand how climate change influences the intensity and likelihood of extreme weather events. The studies also assess the role of vulnerability and exposure in the extent of the impacts.

Jul 15, 2020 · The World Weather Attribution (WWA) Project is an international effort to analyze and communicate the possible influence of climate change on extreme weather events, such as storms, extreme rainfall, heatwaves, cold spells, and droughts.

Jan 8, 2025 · Similarly, Dr. Emily Theokritoff —a research associate at Grantham, who is working on an initiative to publish rapid impact attribution studies about extreme weather events, similar to World Weather Attribution— told Carbon Brief that “The aim is to recharge the field, start a conversation about climate losses and damages, and help people ...

World Weather Attribution (WWA) is an international effort to analyse and communicate the possible influence of climate change on extreme weather events, such as storms, extreme rainfall, heatwaves, cold spells, and droughts.

Jan 5, 2023 · World Weather Attribution ties disasters and extreme conditions to climate change—providing crucial leverage for legal and policy battles.

For a few years now the scientific community has been able to answer that question for relatively simple extremes: hot and cold extremes, extreme precipitation and drought. This emerging field of climate science is called Extreme Event Attribution.
