Did #climatechange cause that recent extreme event in my country?

There is strong evidence that characteristics of many individual extreme events have already changed because of human-driven changes to the climate system.

More than 3 billion people are vulnerable to #climatechange & more in the future will be exposed to the consequences of climate change.

Reducing vulnerability to climate change is therefore indispensable for climate justice & just transitions.
