Hi all,
We are excited to alert you to the upcoming Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP) Community Workshop 2026 (9 - 13 March, 2026 in Kyoto, Japan; see https://wcrp-cmip.org/event/cmip26/), and in particular session T3-24 entitled “Impacts and Adaptation Data and Applications”. This may be of interest to those of you in AgMIP who want to connect more with the global climate modeling community.
CMIP7 has endeavored to make its design and outputs more inclusive of the many communities that apply CMIP earth system model / climate model outputs for applications related to risk, sectoral impacts, and stakeholder-driven applications. This includes a team to oversee strong community input into the Impacts and Adaptation Data Request for CMIP7 outputs, and now this session is a chance for the vulnerability, impacts, adaptation, and climate services communities to share their ideas, needs, and plans for CMIP7 applications beyond physical climate science. We had some strong AgMIP inputs and it would be great to have continued participation to highlight the importance of coherent agricultural applications and a strong connection between AgMIP applications and the CMIP design.
Please consider submitting your abstract to the Theme 3 Session #24 (Impacts and Adaptation Data and Applications) via the online system here:
https://wcrp-cmip.org/cmip26-call-for-abstracts/ (abstract submissions close August 13th).
Please also help us by spreading information about this workshop and session across your networks, with apologies in advance for those of you who receive cross-postings.
We hope to see you there!
-Alex Ruane, Wan-Ling Tseng, and Xiaomao Lin (co-conveners of T3-24 session)
Ps: more info on the workshop and session:
Why should you attend the CMIP Community Workshop?
Discuss the latest advances in Earth system and coupled modelling
Leverage the scientific richness of CMIP6 analyses
Explore early results and updated forcings in CMIP7 simulations
Engage with novel experimental designs and new MIPs
Deepen the observation-modeling interface
Shape the future of climate information delivery
With ample opportunities for networking, collaboration, and global partnership-building, this is more than a conference—it's a community milestone.
Spotlight session for you:
T3-24: Impacts and Adaptation Data and Applications
This session will describe the CMIP7 Impacts and Adaptation (I&A) Theme Data Request and highlight Vulnerability, Impacts, Adaptation and Climate Services (VIACS) applications across society. Recognizing the increasingly vital role of impacts and adaptation work in demonstrating the value of CMIP work, the VIACS Advisory Board was created in CMIP6 and carried into CMIP7, where it fed directly into the process by which CMIP7 determined model outputs requested by model user communities. Feedback from those communities underscored the need for foundational Earth System Model (ESM) outputs upon which dynamical and empirical downscaling, bias-adjustment, impacts models, and emulators all fed into information products that support climate action planning across sectors and around the world. This included requests for specific sets of variables that enable the calculation of climatic impact-driver indices and tolerance thresholds that determine ecosystem and societal risk, as well as variable groups describing ESM outputs that could be processed into input data for impacts models. The I&A Data Request Team identified several mechanisms to prioritize resources given ESM group constraints, resulting in more targeted guidance for ESM groups seeking to produce outputs that will inform planning for agriculture, water resources, forestry, biodiversity, human health, cities, infrastructure, and other systems. The session will also highlight applications of ESM outputs for sectoral impacts and adaptation studies, inviting participants to share their experiences applying CMIP6 outputs as well as pilot applications of the newest CMIP7 outputs as they become available.
