The Raising Risk Awareness initiative brings together scientists, vulnerability experts and knowledge brokers to understand the role of climate change in extreme weather events to help prepare for future ones.

It allows scientists to make quantitative statements about how climate change has altered the risk of extreme weather events occurring. This can help decision-makers and the public to prioritise adaptation solutions and reduce vulnerability; this infographic sets out why attributing extreme weather events is critical and how the process works.
