EMS Webinar: Rapidly attributing extreme weather events to climate change

The World Weather attribution project uses combinations of climate modelling and observational analyses to estimate how human influence has changed the likelihood and severity of recent extreme events. Many analyses are carried out just days or a few weeks after an extreme weather event has occurred to deliver timely scientific evidence to the public. Founded in 2014, the group has carried out more than 90 attribution studies on a range of weather extremes around the world. On Wednesday 16 April at 4pmCEST, Dr Friederike (Fredi) Otto and Dr Ben Clarke will discuss the group’s work using the 2024 Central Europe floods analysis as a case study.[more]
