Summary/Abstract
The document discusses the evolution of extreme event attribution as a significant aspect of climate science, which has been increasingly acknowledged in major climate assessments, including the IPCC's Sixth Assessment Report. It explores the methodologies used for attribution, the necessity of these studies, and their role in understanding and mitigating the impacts of climate change on human health, economic costs, and ecosystems. The review calls for an integrated approach that combines different attribution methods to address the diverse impacts of extreme events effectively.
