On March 21, 2025, global leaders, scientists, and policymakers will gather at the United Nations Headquarters in New York and Paris to mark the first-ever World Day for Glaciers. To learn more, click the heading above.
This workshop, by invitation only, is organized by the Regional Information for Society (RIfS) Core Project (RIfS) and the Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiment (CORDEX) in Cape Town (South Africa) from 8 to 11 September 2025. It is planned as a pivotal moment in Africa for how to address the critical questions of robust, defensible, and actionable climate information to support Africa’s policy and decision makers. This workshop is the first step to new cross-disciplinary, trans-disciplinary, and cross regional collaborations.
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.
