contents In this work, we summarize the state-of-the-art methods in causal inference for extremes. In a non-exhaustive way, we start by describing an extremal approach to quantile treatment effect where the treatment has an impact on the tail of the outcome. Then, we delve into two primary causal structures for extremes, offering in-depth insights into their identifiability. Additionally, we discuss causal structure learning in relation to these two models as well as in a model-agnostic framework. To illustrate the practicality of the approaches, we apply and compare these different methods using a Seine network dataset. This work concludes with a summary and outlines potential directions for future research.
