Summary/Abstract
This study addresses methodologies in attribution science to estimate loss and damages attributed to a climate change-driven extreme event. The authors “show how considering the role of trade and global supply chains could help us identify the scope of impacts attributable to climate change, shedding light on additional impacts currently unaccounted for in the [loss and damages] discourse. To illustrate this point, we draw on a historical example of an extreme event with substantial direct and indirect economic and humanitarian consequences. Although estimating the global impacts of local extremes attributed to climate change will be challenging, it ensures that the quantification of attributable impacts is not underestimated in [loss and damages] research.”
