World Weather Attribution is an international collaboration that analyses and communicates the possible influence of climate change on extreme weather events, such as storms, extreme rainfall, heatwaves, and droughts.
The group has completed more than 100 studies on a range of extreme weather events around the world using peer-reviewed methods. To date, 26 of these studies have been submitted and published in peer reviewed journals and their results have remained unchanged.
