Abstract
Attribution of extreme events quantifies the influence of climate change on a particular extreme event. In this talk, we briefly describe some of the approaches employed for attribution and illustrate them using the European 2022 heatwave as an example. We also present the research and developments that are being carried out within the CLINT project to support the attribution of single events and observed trends to man-made climate change. They include efforts to improve classical methodologies, develop hybrid approaches and explore novel methods for fast attribution of EE.
