Politics of attributing extreme events
to climate change
Climate change shapes weather events. However, describing it
as the cause of disasters can be misleading, since disasters are
caused by pre-existing fragilities and inequalities on the ground.
Attribution is not neutral. Hence, analytic frames that attribute
disaster to climate can divert attention from place-based vulnerabilities and their sociopolitical causes. While politicians may
blame climate change, the public may hold the government
accountable for inadequate investments in flood or drought
prevention. To be strategic and moral, framing choices must
therefore be sensitive to context and to how the values implicit
within analytic frames about the causes of disasters shape
policy responses. Such sensitivity requires multicausal analysis
of weather-linked disasters to reduce the damages. Through
examples from around the world, especially Brazil, we discuss
how and why climate-centric disaster framing can erase from
view—and, thus, from policy agendas—the very socioeconomic
and political factors that centrally cause vulnerability and suffering
in weather extremes.
