World Weather Attribution
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.
Most studies are performed rapidly, in the aftermath of extreme weather events – or even while they’re still happening – to answer the increasingly common question: ‘what was the role of climate change in this event?’
Formed in 2014, WWA has performed more than 90 attribution studies on heatwaves, extreme rainfall, drought, floods, wildfires and cold spells around the world.
