Attribution science provides critical insights on both the impacts attributable to anthropogenic climate change and the relative contributions of different sources for those impacts. This research plays an important role in climate litigation as well as policy-making and regulatory decision-making. For example, courts refer to attribution research when assessing legal obligations with regards to the mitigation of climate change and its harmful impacts. Attribution research is also used to support policy decisions and administrative actions, such as greenhouse gas regulations, adaptation measures, and protections for climate-imperiled species. This conference will further advance collaboration between the scientific, legal and policy-making communities by bringing together a diverse group of researchers and practitioners to share insights on the status of attribution research and its relevance to climate law and policy.
