SUMMARY:Extreme weather attribution and the evidential grounds for restora
 tive climate justice - Ahmad Elabbar\, Adrian Research Fellow

DESCRIPTION:Extreme weather events are among the most salient outcomes of 
 climate change. In recent years\, the science of "extreme event attributio
 n" has emerged\, with the aim of distinguishing the subset of extreme weat
 her events that are attributable to anthropogenic climate change from thos
 e that are not. A number of authors have recently suggested that such attr
 ibution studies can be used to distinguish the "real victims of climate ch
 ange" from persons harmed by "bad luck weather"\, and that drawing this di
 stinction among impacted persons is necessary for the pursuit of climate j
 ustice. This talk rejects the use of extreme event attribution as a means
 ​ for recognising the victims of climate change on both practical and mo
 ral grounds\, and suggests an alternative evidential standard for the reco
 gnition of climate victimhood.
