POLICY BRIEF: RISKS FROM CLIMATE EXTREMES OVER EUROPE AND BEYOND
Extreme weather events in 2023 illustrated how poorly prepared the world is for the growing risks of climate change. Nowadays it is possible to use attribution science to investigate the role of climate change and other factors in specific weather and climate extremes. Attribution studies estimate by how much a specific extreme event was made more (or less) likely and/or intense because of climate change. This policy brief summarizes key learnings from the first two years of the XAIDA project and formulates recommendations.
XAIDA Webinar #4
The 4th session of our webinar will occur on April 9th at 2 PM CET. Miguel Ángel Fernández Torres (IPL, Universitat de València) will present the AIDE Toolbox: Artificial Intelligence for Disentangling Extreme Events.

PRESS: MANY DEVASTATING EXTREMES IN 2023 WERE AMPLIFIED BY GLOBAL WARMING
In 2023, the world reached new record temperatures, with an unprecedented global mean temperature of 1.48°C above pre-industrial levels. These record temperatures strongly increased the intensity of heatwaves, droughts and extreme rainfall associated with storms like Otis and Daniel.
The XAIDA team hosted a Press Conference on January 9th 2024 at 2pm CET to explain these results and methods. Find the Press Release and the video record of the Press Conference here.
