Scientific evidence of a possible relation between recent natural disasters and climate change

AUTHORS: Jason Anderson-Dr Camilla Bausch

This briefing reviewed the scientific evidence linking climate change and recent natural disasters. It concluded that our theoretical understanding of the physical processes that lie behind climate change suggests that more extreme weather events should occur and there is evidence to suggest that some recent extreme weather events can be attributed to climate change. The briefing is one in a series of eight briefings produced for the European Parliament under a Framework contract led by IEEP.
