The Technical Report published by the Joint Research Center (JRC), the European Commission's science and knowledge service, provides evidence-based scientific support showing the impacts of the emerging drought that has been visible in Europe during the winter and spring months. Based on the observation of Combined Drought Indicators (CDI). These indicators combine meteorological, hydrological and biophysical variables captured by satellites as well as the temporal and spatial scales of the

Big news for 21st century research developments in Australia! The Australian Research Council (ARC) recently announced eleven new research centers, three of which relate to climate science and greenhouse gas management. It's an exciting and important step for Australia's efforts to facilitate cooperation between universities, industry, and government, and to effectively address the country's most pressing scientific challenges.

The 2022 Global Carbon Budget 2022 was released today at COP27 In Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt. It clearly shows that global carbon emissions remain at record highs with no sign of decreasing. The full findings, published in Earth System Science Data, are now available, and the new Global Carbon Budget website provides many additional resources.

• Press release: No sign of decrease in global CO2 emissions
• Full research paper: Global Carbon Budget

Join the first session of this 4-part webinar series to share perspectives and approaches to do climate science, communication, and risk management, taking place on 8 November, 01:00-02:30 UTC. Please register for the session here.

The WCRP Explaining and Predicting Earth System Change Lighthouse Activity invites you to join the second webinar of the series that will provide a discussion forum on topics focused on predicting and explaining a range of different climate phenomena and events, while supporting the further development of a scientific agenda.

This second webinar will focus on the Triple La Niña and will provide a view of causes, key processes and prediction of such event.

The World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) and the Global Energy and Water Exchanges (GEWEX) project are pleased to announce the release of the "History of the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project", a report authored by William B. Rossow, Distinguished Professor Emeritus of the City College of New York.

40 years ago, the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) was launched to collect and analyze global satellite observations of Earth’s clouds for climate

The SOLAS Summer School is a regular, international event with the goal of providing multidisciplinary air-sea interaction background to the next generation of Earth System scientists. The next in-person School will take place from 5-16 June 2023 at the Ocean Science Centre Mindelo on Cape Verde. For more information and to apply for the in-person Summer School 2023, please use the form provided on the website. Applications must be submitted by 25 November 2022.

The report, United in Science, shows that greenhouse gas concentrations continue to rise to record highs. Fossil fuel emission rates are now above pre-pandemic levels after a temporary drop due to lockdowns. Emissions reduction pledges for 2030 need to be seven times higher to meet the 1.5°C goal of the Paris Agreement.

United in Science provides an overview of the most recent science related to climate change, impacts and responses. The science is clear – urgent action is needed to mitigate

Priority Variables Consultation
The CMIP International Project Office (CMIP IPO) invites you to take part in this consultation on priority variables for inclusion within a core set of variables forming the baseline for exchange of climate model data, in any intercomparison project, in accordance with FAIR data and Open Science principles. This consultation is relevant to those involved in developing and operating climate models, data infrastructure and those utilising climate model outputs.  To

Poster Clusters

Poster clusters should be designed to bring together a community working on a specific topic within the broader conference themes. The aim is to help participants to organize their poster viewing and to provide a forum for discussion about the cluster topic. In addition to dedicated on-site poster sessions, all posters will be available on the hybrid platform poster gallery at least two weeks before the conference. Virtual poster sessions will be organized during these two

APPEAR aims to bring together research exploiting perturbed parameter ensembles (PPEs) to understand and predict the behaviour of the atmosphere and climate system.

Registrations are open for the Analysis of PPEs in Atmospheric Research (APPEAR) virtual workshop to be held over 2 days: 18 October (15:00-19:00 UTC) and 19 October 2022 (08:00-11:00 UTC). The workshop is organised under the new WCRP Earth System Modelling and Observations (ESMO) Core Project and will showcase the wide range of

 WCRP invites the community to to nominate candidates (including self-nomination) to become members of the Regional Information for Society (RIfS) Scientific Steering Group (SSG). The WCRP Regional Information for Society (RIfS)Core Project focuses on research that underpins provision of actionable information for society’s response to climate variability and change. RIfS is in its establishment phase and presents opportunities for framing and developing the directions and priority foci of
