This briefing by Zero Carbon Analytics prepares readers for the release of the IPCC's 6th Assessment Report (AR6) 'The Physical Science Basis'. It outlines major climate science developments since the 5th Assessment Report (AR5), focusing on human attribution of extreme weather, updated carbon budgets, refined climate sensitivity models, the role of non-CO2 greenhouse gases, and the complexities of net-zero and carbon dioxide removal.

A fact sheet detailing a catastrophic precipitation event in Chennai, India, on 1 December 2015, and the subsequent scientific attribution analysis regarding the role of human-caused climate change.

This fact sheet from the Climate and Development Knowledge Network describes the use of extreme event attribution to understand the role of climate change in weather events and its utility for long-term decision-making, featuring case studies from India.

This synthesis report details the Raising Risk Awareness (RRA) project, a pilot initiative designed to build capacity for extreme event attribution (EEA) and sea level rise risk analysis in developing countries. The project focused on Ethiopia, India, Kenya, and Bangladesh to bridge the gap between climate science, communication, and policy-making, helping stakeholders understand the role of human-induced climate change in specific extreme weather events to better manage future risks.
