Health losses attributed to anthropogenic climate change

September 2025
Colin J. Carlson, Dann Mitchell, Rory Gibb, Rupert F. Stuart-Smith, Tamma Carleton, Torre E. Lavelle, Catherine A. Lippi, Megan Lukas-Sithole, Michelle A. North, Sadie J. Ryan, Dorcas Stella Shumba, Matthew Chersich, Mark New & Christopher H. Trisos
Nature Climate Change
This report analyzes existing health attribution studies, finding that end-to-end studies are lacking, and encouraging greater investment in source and impact attribution studies for use in legal action, and additional focus on the global south.Read More →

Systematic Attribution of Heatwaves to the Emissions of Carbon Majors

September 2025
Yann Quilcaille et al.
Nature
This study finds that climate change contributed to the intensification and likelihood of 213 heatwaves between 2000 and 2023, and 180 carbon majors substantially contributed to that.Read More →

Global assessment of historical changes in extreme fire weather: Insight from CMIP6 ensembles and implications for probabilistic attribution to global warming

September 2025
Zhongwei Liu, Jonathan M. Eden, Bastien Dieppois, Igor Drobyshev, Folmer Krikken, Matthew Blackett
Global and Planetary Change
This peer-reviewed study developed a framework to examine how climate change may influence wildfire events using a multi-model analysis, which confirms an increase in probability and duration in wildfires due to global temperature anomalies.Read More →

Record-Breaking 2023 Marine Heatwaves

July 2025
Tianyun Dong et al.
Science
This study reports on record-breaking marine heat waves in 2023, which depart from historic averages in duration, extent, and intensity.Read More →

The attribution of human health outcomes to climate change: transdisciplinary practical guidance

July 2025
K. L. Ebi, A. Haines, R. F. S. Andrade, et. al.
Climatic Change
This peer-reviewed guidance document published by experts in health and climate science suggests several pathways for transdisciplinary studies on the attribution of health impacts to climate change.Read More →

Climate Change Has Increased the Odds of Extreme Regional Forest Fire Years Globally

July 2025
John T. Abatzoglou, Crystal A. Kolden, Alison C. Cullen, Mojtaba Sadegh, Emily L. Williams, Marco Turco, Matthew W. Jones
Nature Communications
This study finds that human-driven climate change "rais[es] the odds of extreme climate-driven fire years across forested regions of the globe."Read More →

Heat Action Day Report: Climate Change and the Escalation of Global Extreme Heat

May 2025
Otto Giguere et al.
Worldwide Weather Attribution
This study finds that, over the past 12 months, 4 billion people experienced at least 30 extra days with extreme heat and climate change made extreme heat days at least twice as likely.Read More →

Climate Change and the Escalation of Global Extreme Heat

May 2025
Giguere, Otto, Tannenbaum, Vahlberg, et al.
Climate Central, Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Centre, World Weather Attribution
This report assesses the influence that climate change has had on heat waves from May 1, 2024 to May 1, 2025, finding that human-driven climate change is making heat events longer and more likely.Read More →

Growing human-induced climate change fingerprint in regional weekly fire extremes

May 2025
Sifang Feng, Jakob Zscheischler, Zengchao Hao & Emanuele Bevacqua
Nature - NPJ Climate Action
This peer-reviewd study examines the causal links between human induced climate change and wildfires, finding that warming increased the probability of wildfires by ~5%/decade between 2002-2015. Read More →

Irreversible Glacier Change and Trough Water for Centuries after Overshooting 1.5°C

May 2025
Lilian Schuster et al.
Nature Climate Change
This study examines the impact of exceeding 1.5°C of global warming on mountain glaciers, sea levels, and water availability.Read More →
