The CMIP Community Workshop 2026 will bring together a growing, and increasingly diverse, community of Earth system scientists, partners, and stakeholders. We seek to build on the popularity of the Barcelona CMIP6 workshop by incorporating its most successful elements while ensuring that this meeting aligns with WCRP hybrid meeting requirements and remains inclusive of the ever-expanding CMIP community.

The workshop will be an opportunity to discuss the latest developments in Earth system and coupled modelling, leverage the wealth of the CMIP6 analyses, and explore the updated forcings and early results from CMIP7 simulations, including new experimental designs and MIPs.

It will also highlight the expanding observation-modelling interface, address strategies for streamlining the climate information chain, and forge a vision and global partnerships to deliver sustained and high quality climate information to all users.

The workshop will also provide ample opportunities for networking, collaboration, and knowledge exchange, fostering new partnerships with the CMIP community. In addition, there will be an Early-Career Scientist workshop, designed and developed by our Fresh Eyes on CMIP community.
