As a pan-cryospheric meeting, the CliC OSC will address all elements of the cryosphere and its climate connections. We invite scientists, researchers, scholars, practitioners, educators, and stakeholders to come together at the nexus of climate and cryosphere to learn from one another, identify knowledge gaps, and address emerging challenges. From modellers and observationalists to social scientists and community organizers, we welcome leading and emerging experts as well as early career researchers (ECRs) to present their work and discuss the state of cryospheric science.
Please note the following important deadlines:
- Abstract submission: extended to 19 September
- Apply for a CliC-funded travel grant: 31 August
- Apply for an IGS-funded ECR travel grant: 30 September
- Early Bird Registration: 11 November

This open call to fill vacant position(s) within the WCRP Global Extremes Platform (GEP) Working Group on Event Attribution is targeted at the Global South and/or other underrepresented regions. The Working Group on Event Attribution aims to support activities that will foster extreme event attribution collaboration and research to provide information globally, particularly in an operational context, that is clear, defensible, traceable, and consistently interpreted, including development of best practice guidelines, and to increase the capacity for event attribution in the Global South and underrepresented regions.

The World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) are joining forces to convene a co-sponsored workshop on “High-impact events, tipping points and their consequences” in Paris, France, from 26–28 November. The workshop will bring together leading experts from around the globe, covering many disciplines, in support of the 7th IPCC Assessment Report (AR7) process. The workshop is by invitation only.

The Regional Information for Society (RIfS) Core Project organized an expert meeting on the Robustness of Climate Change Information for Decisions in April 2024, hosted by the European Commission and co-sponsored by the Green Climate Fund.
The workshop aimed to address the following issue: When sources of climate change information do not agree or are misaligned to decision contexts, there is a lack of consensus about how to overcome this barrier and inform local-to-regional decision making.
Collectively the meeting sought to develop forward thinking on building new cross-community collaboration to advance and demonstrate the development of relevant information that is defensibly robust, aligned to context, in ways that are scalable and transferable, and thus broadly accepted and widely applicable. The meeting was explicitly designed to be a first step, a catalyst for new cross-community recognition of the challenge, and to stimulate new actions to address this. A new Interim Working Group is carrying on the work of organizing follow-on activities on these themes, including guidance and standards, global North/South partnerships, ethics and accountability, reducing epistemic uncertainties, and collaborations around responsible data use.
