The next webinar in the Tipping Points Discussion Series explores the latest scientific insights on AMOC tipping points and their profound policy implications. This discussion will bring together experts to examine how science and policy can work together to address these emerging risks and enhance global preparedness.
The Editorial for the Surveys in Geophysics special issue on Tipping Elements in the Earth’s Climate Systems is now online, finalizing the Special Issue featuring research from the ISSI Workshop: Tipping Points and Understanding EO data needs for a Tipping Element Model Intercomparison Project.

Last week, we had an excellent meeting of authors of the WCRP High-impact climate events, tipping points, and irreversible regional impacts assessment at the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) in New York (5-8 May 2025). A lot of progress was made on the Assessment, including nailing down the scope and structure of the publication. We will now be working to produce a first draft of the different sections by the end of June. Huge thanks to AIMES for sponsoring the meeting, to Hannah Liddy and Anastasia Romanou for hosting us at GISS, and to Gabi Hegerl for her leadership.

The WCRP Regional Information for Society (RIfS) Core Project is calling for members of the newly established Robust Information Working Group (RIWG), and associated task teams which will contribute to its work. The aim of the group is to establish what it means for a scientific product to be “robust”, i.e., context specific regional climate information that is fit for informing decision-making; and what processes could look like to generate and apply robust information to produce “robust” decisions.
The group aims to identify attributes of robustness of information, identify processes to generate and apply such information, and produce recommendations about what we need to change in our communities of practice, institutions and structures to allow for the achievement of robust climate change information geared towards context-specific decisions.
For more information and to nominate someone (including self-nomination), deadline 15 May 2025 - 17:00 UTC, please visit the open call webpage and the application form.
Pan-CLIVAR 2025 will bring together CLIVAR members from all panels, Research Foci, and Scientific Steering Group (SSG), as well as representatives from WCRP core-projects and external partners and will initiate the formulation of the next science plan. Pan-CLIVAR 2025 will be held from 22 to 26 September 2025 in hybrid mode (in-person and on-line) in Indonesia. It will consist of individual panels and Research Foci meetings, SSG sessions, cross-panel meetings, plenaries, and a Symposium "Bridging Science and Society in Southeast Asia and Beyond" on 24 September with breakout sessions in the morning of 25 September. This year 2025 marks the 30th Anniversary of CLIVAR.
Participation to Pan CLIVAR Meeting is by invitation. The Symposium, however, is open to all.
- Registration and the call for Symposium abstracts are open. Abstract submission deadline: extended to April 18, 2025, 23h59 CEST.
- To register and submit an abstract, visit the Pan-CLIVAR 2025 website.
