The WGCM Infrastructure Panel (WIP) is a Working Group on Climate Modelling (WGCM) subcommittee charged with coordinating infrastructure support for CMIP. It works with projects funded to develop software and supporting infrastructure that facilitates access to and analysis of the CMIP model output. It defines specifications and standards that ensure model output is written in a common structure and format, and that it is archived and made accessible worldwide in a common way. More generally, the WIP provides guidance and oversees infrastructure development so that it will be fit for its purpose and meet the scientific needs of CMIP and other MIP projects.
This call invites the community to nominate candidates (including self-nomination). Application deadline: 08:00 UTC, Friday 10th January 2025

Around 40 scientists working on a range of impacts due to climate change gathered at the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) to inform, brainstorm, and exchange ideas. The Workshop on High-Risk Cascading Shocks, organized by members of the Safe Landing Climates Lighthouse Activity of WCRP, took place from 18 to 20 November, 2024. The enthusiasm among the participants was palpable as they worked together on forming a forward-looking agenda for their work in the coming years.
More than a dozen organizations have signed an open letter to leaders at COP29, emphasizing that exceeding the 1.5°C threshold risks will trigger irreversible and uncontrollable shifts in the Earth’s climate system, with catastrophic consequences for both current and future generations. Tune in to the media event, which will take place at the Cryosphere Pavilion at COP29 on Friday, 22 November, at 10:00 AM local time in Baku (7:00 AM CET): https://iccinet.org/cop29-november-22. The event will be streamed live and made available later on the International Cryosphere Climate Initiative (ICCI) YouTube channel.
The Global Carbon Project (GCP) published the Global Carbon Budget 2024 yesterday at the 29th Conference of the Parties in Baku, Azerbaijan. You can find the key messages on the GCP website and the preprint on the Earth Systems Science Data website.
