We are delighted to invite you to join the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) Tipping Point: "Impacts on Climate and Extreme Events" webinar, in the WCRP Safe Landing Climates Lighthouse Activity, AIMES, the Earth Commission, and Future Earth webinar series. This webinar will explore the potential impacts of an AMOC tipping event on Europe’s climate. When: 25 March 14:00-15:30 CET Presentations by:
- Anastasia Romanou (NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies/Columbia University): AMOC bifurcation - tipping due to internal climate variability
- René van Westen (The Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute): AMOC Tipping Events under different Forcing Scenarios

Following an open call in 2024 for the four GPEX Working Groups (WGs) co-chairs and members, the WCRP Global Precipitation EXperiment Lighthouse Activity, aiming at taking on the challenge of improving precipitation predictions around the world, including polar and high-mountain regions, would like to seek nominations (including self-nominations) to further expand its current WG memberships that will develop and execute the GPEX implementation plan over the next decade, and integrate with the past efforts. The deadline for applications is 31 March 2025. Click the heading above for more details and to apply.

**The deadline for proposals to host the CORDEX IPO has been extended until 31 March 2025**
CORDEX is the focal point for advancing and coordinating the science and application of regional climate downscaling through global partnerships within WCRP. This fosters and grows research focused on advancing and coordinating the science and application of regional climate downscaling, to effectively link global climate research and the regional information needs of society.
The Host Institution will significantly benefit from hosting the CORDEX IPO by having a close interaction with this critical domain of research in support of regional downscaling experiments. It will serve as a great opportunity for the host to help deliver the exciting new goals of CORDEX to the international community.

The Safe Landing Climates Lighthouse Activity invites researchers with an interest in climate change adaptation and mitigation measures, carbon cycle processes, urban heat, climate and health, or severe and cascading extreme events to apply to join its Scientific Steering Group. Researchers working in the Global South are strongly encouraged to apply. The deadline for applications is 17 March 2025. Click the heading above for more details and to apply.
The Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP) Panel is seeking applications from enthusiastic and dedicated individuals to join :
- The Energy Consumption and Carbon Footprint Task Team. This Task Team will evaluate the energy consumption and carbon footprint of CMIP, develop appropriate target setting and monitoring procedures, and identify potential actions for reducing the environmental impact.
Find out more and apply to join this Task Team. Application deadline: 09:00 UTC, 28 February 2025
- The Responsible Data Use Task Team. Given the well-established role of CMIP data, and derived products, to inform decisions at the regional scale, this task team seeks to reduce data misuse by developing recommendations for better means of documenting the limitations of CMIP model outputs for various key applications.
