Attribution science in polluter pays climate litigation: constructing causal chains for court
Summary
This guide examines how attribution science (the study linking extreme weather events to climate change) is being used in "polluter pays" climate litigation to seek compensation from major greenhouse gas emitters. It is the third in a series from the Grantham Research Institute at LSE and the Grantham Institute at Imperial College London, focusing on how scientific evidence is constructed and presented in courts to establish causal chains between emissions and climate-related harms.
