"Can #attribution studies be used to hold polluters to account? Yes. Such studies are increasingly being used as evidence of responsibility for #climate damage in landmark legal cases, such as Juliana v United States and Lluiya v RWE. Attribution science is also being used to inform negotiations over funding for the UN’s “loss and damage” fund, which would finance the rebuilding of communities after climate disasters." https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/nov/18/how-do-we-know-that-the-climate-crisis-is-to-blame-for-extreme-weather
