The Commission wants projects that advance attribution science — quantifying how much climate change, versus natural variability, drives specific extreme and slow-onset weather events — and turn that into better forecasting and early-warning tools. It expects work on both fast events like floods and storms and slow-onset ones like droughts, including compound and cascading impacts.
