Operational Extreme Weather Event Attribution Can Quantify Climate Change Loss and Damages

Summary/Abstract

The article discusses the advancement of extreme event attribution science and its potential to quantify and communicate the impacts of anthropogenic climate change on extreme weather events. The authors highlight the need for these capabilities to be integrated into operational weather prediction centers, which could enhance the accuracy and timeliness of public information following extreme weather events. This shift could also aid in the allocation of resources and policy planning aimed at mitigating climate change impacts.
