Friederike (Fredi) Otto is a Professor at the Climate Science Centre in the Faculty of Natural Sciences at Imperial College London. She leads the World Weather Attribution (WWA), an international initiative aimed at analyzing and communicating the potential influence of climate change on extreme weather events. Through rapid attribution studies, WWA provides timely scientific evidence on how climate change has influenced specific weather events, thereby reshaping the global discourse on climate adaptation and policy. Fredi is recognized as a leading expert on climate change attribution, focusing particularly on extreme weather events such as droughts, heat waves, and storms, and their increased likelihood due to climate change. Her research also delves into the intersections of science, law, and policy, seeking to understand how scientific evidence is employed in legislation and governance for resilient societies. Fredi is an author of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report and was listed in TIME100 as one of the world’s most influential individuals in 2021. She has received honorary doctorates from Concordia University and Edinburgh University, and her work has been prominently featured in major global media outlets.
