WCRP Regional Information for Society

Consider submitting an abstract to our AGU session "Robustness of Climate Change Information for Decisions" if you're helping identify robust information for decision-making in your work.

With a busy end to 2024, thanks to everyone who has engaged so far. We rounded out the year with the new GEP Working Group on Event Attribution inaugural meeting in Nanjing, China and a planning retreat for the Robust Information for Decisions Interim Working Group in Virginia, USA just before AGU. Looking forward to seeing you in 2025!

🗞 Exciting publication alert! #ClimateServices are key to helping decision-makers respond effectively to climate change. However, without quality standards, these services often struggle with reliability and market performance. The new study supported by Climateurope2 Barcelona Supercomputing Center World Meteorological Organization Copernicus ECMWF #Standards4eu #EUClimateAction published in #ScienceDirect, sheds light on how to enhance the quality, relevance, and accessibility of climate services. 🔍 Key Takeaways: - Four Pillars for analyzing climate services: decision context, ecosystem of actors, diversity of knowledge systems, and service evaluation. - Nine Key Messages identifying best practices and standardization needs—providing critical recommendations to standardization bodies and stakeholders. This research underscores the importance of standardized climate services in creating a more resilient, climate-adaptive society. 📄 Read more: https://lnkd.in/eqSSPxqV #Climateurope2 #ClimateServices #ClimateAdaptation Francisco Javier Doblas-Reyes Sveučilište u Rijeci / University of Rijeka Barcelona Supercomputing Center CMCC Foundation - Centro Euro Mediterraneo sui Cambiamenti Climatici Ecologic Institute LGI Sustainable Innovation the climate data factory World Meteorological Organization Praca i rozwój | WSB w Poznaniu Uniwersytet WSB Merito Gdańsk Wageningen University & Research Deltares TECNALIA Research & Innovation Center for the Promotion of Science Technical University of Munich Climate-KIC Ramboll Management Consulting webLyzard technology Copernicus ECMWF DIN Deutsches Institut für Normung e.

🌍✨ Exciting Opportunity Alert! ✨🌍 The World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) is calling for proposals to host a dedicated project office for the COordinated Regional climate Downscaling EXperiment (CORDEX)! Join us in advancing regional climate downscaling through global partnerships. By hosting the CORDEX International Project Office, your institution will: 🔍 Enhance its international profile 🤝 Collaborate with leading scientists and networks 🌱 Support early career researchers 🌎 Contribute to vital climate research impacting communities worldwide Be a part of a legacy that informs key international assessments like the IPCC and strengthens research capacity in the Global South. 📅 Submit your proposal by February 28, 2025! For details, download the application package now! https://loom.ly/99sj1ro #ClimateResearch #CORDEX #Sustainability #GlobalPartnerships #ClimateAction #ClimateChange

It's time to find a new host for the CORDEX International Project Office (IPO). https://lnkd.in/dMeWj_ZG The RIfS IPO works closely with the CORDEX IPO, given the relationship of our projects within the World Climate Research Programme. Spread the word! Become our new colleagues distributed around the world. It's a tight turn-around: deadline end of February. If it's hard to imagine securing the needed funding commitment between now and then, take note: "We will also give full consideration to proposals which partially meet the above requirements, or which have not yet received a complete funding commitment by the deadline, but this must be clearly stated in the proposal and will be evaluated accordingly."

Call for proposals to host the CORDEX International Project Office is now open! Read more at the WCRP website: https://lnkd.in/dMeWj_ZG

Interested in joining a #WCRP Scientific Steering Group ?
