A three-day, in-person hackathon analyzing how the new generation of CMIP7 models represents historical trends and multidecadal variability, is organized by the CLIVAR CEMT-MV research foci, from 6 to 8 January 2027. The hackathon will be held at three hubs (Boulder, Taipei and Tokyo) over the same three days. It will consist of some lectures and tutorials on CMIP data analysis with the majority of the time spent hacking.
Participation is by application, and applications are due October 24th, 2026 and notification will be received in late October / early November. The hackathon is open to all career stages.

The WCRP Eath System Modelling and Observations (ESMO) Core Project is launching an open call for new panel members to join the Working Group on Numerical Experimentation (WGNE).
This is a great opportunity to join this group of experts and help advance numerical experimentation and the development, evaluation and improvement of Earth system models for weather, climate, water and environmental prediction across timescales. Current areas of interest include numerical methods, dynamics and physical parameterisations and their coupling; coupled Earth-system processes; systematic-error diagnostics; high-resolution and km-scale modelling; ensembles and uncertainty; AI/ML and hybrid models; model verification; and computational scalability. WGNE reports to the ESMO SSG as well as the Research Board of WMO, and has interactions with several ESMO, WCRP, and WMO bodies.
Applications can be made through this form. For more details, please take a look at the full call. Deadline for applications is 31 October, 2026.

2026’s extreme heat, wildfires and droughts are underscoring just how quickly our climate is changing. At the same time, climate science is advancing rapidly, with thousands of new studies published every year. The 10 New Insights in Climate Science report distills influential, emerging, and policy-relevant findings from the latest research into ten key insights for decision-makers ahead of the UN climate negotiations at COP. The webinar will include an overview of this year’s findings, expert perspectives on selected insights and an audience Q&A.
Join the International Science Council, Future Earth, the Earth League and the World Climate Research Programme for the launch of the 10 new insights in climate science 2026-27 report. The webinar will be held on 6 October 2026 from 13:00-14:00 UTC.
