The 5th Climate Change and Environmental Sustainability (CCES) Conference, held online in partnership with Chongqing University, fosters global collaboration on tackling climate challenges. Experts and researchers will explore innovative solutions in renewable energy, sustainable materials, and environmental design, promoting interdisciplinary approaches for a resilient and sustainable future.

The Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation is now accepting pre-applications for funding under The Polar Initiative, focused on the protection and sustainable management of polar regions.

Projects may include, but are not limited to, the following focus areas:

• Generating knowledge to inform decisions on the protection of polar ecosystems
• Improving polar observation and monitoring systems
• Sharing and disseminating science and monitoring data to support better management
• Conservation actions, including the management of human activities in polar regions
• Supporting community adaptation and mitigation strategies
• Capacity building and integration of Indigenous populations into governance bodies
• Advancing science diplomacy to foster international cooperation

Special priority will be given to Arctic projects developed or co-developed with Indigenous communities.

Pre-Application Deadline: 30 June 2025

The Centre for Climate Repair, in association with UArctic, is proud to present Arctic Repair 2025, a pioneering conference on innovative solutions for a changing climate. Over three days, we'll explore the most promising research into protecting the Arctic from rapid warming with experts on science, technology, and ethical pathways.

The Future of Earth’s Polar Regions
Coordinators: Qinghua Ding, Helene Seroussi, Gunilla Svensson, Patrick Taylor, and Andrew Thompson

The Conference will be devoted to discussions about how the polar climate system will evolve in a warming world. It will focus on understanding key physical processes and interactions between different components of the polar climate with a view towards improving projections of future polar climate. We will recruit a diverse group of participants across research fields, career stage, gender, geographical origin, under-represented groups, from around the world. Sessions will cover topics such as: 1) physical processes, their representation in observations and models, and their importance in a warmer world, 2) feedbacks and interactions between components of the polar climate system, 3) how to learn from the past to improve future predictions, 4) the role of polar regions in an evolving global climate system, and 5) how to leverage technological advances to enable a sustained polar observing system.

This conference is allowing submissions of the following types:

The Arctic Development Expo welcomes all researchers, Indigenous leaders, circumpolar Governments, scientists, industry experts and passionate individuals.

The Arctic Development Expo takes place in Inuvik, Northwest Territories, Canada. This event will strive to make knowledgeable decisions to enhance circumpolar life and create innovative solutions for northern realities. The organizers look to develop the Arctic through sustainable means and will do so by concentrating on the following four themes: Natural & Renewable Resources, Climate and Energy Innovations, Indigenous Leadership and Circumpolar Governance and Knowledge Economy.

Meeting Goal

The goal of this meeting is to share recent advances in sea ice prediction and the state of seasonal sea ice prediction with the Sea Ice Community of Practice. The meeting will feature talks on the Goddard Earth Observing System (GEOS) Sub-seasonal / Seasonal Project (S2S) System, v3 and an assessment of seasonal sea ice forecasting from the Sea Ice Outlook community. The meeting will include discussion of future outlooks for sea ice prediction.

Meeting Presentations will include:

• Predicted Arctic sea ice cover in the GEOS S2S system, version 3 – Richard Cullather, Earth Systems Science Interdisciplinary Center, University of Maryland College Park and NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (20 min)

• Seasonal Arctic sea ice prediction: How are we doing as a community? – Mitch
  Bushuk, NOAA Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (20 min)

2025 Sea Ice Outlook June Report
(based on May data)

The Sea Ice Prediction Network (SIPN) invites you to contribute to the June 2025 Sea Ice Outlook (SIO)—a collaborative, community-driven effort to compare and improve seasonal sea ice forecasts.

Submission Deadline: 6:00 p.m. (AKDT) Friday, 20 June 2025

The Sea Ice Outlook (SIO) offers a platform for researchers and forecasters to share predictions of September Arctic sea ice extent and related variables. Following submission of contributions, key visualizations (including pan-Arctic sea ice forecast figures) are published by month on the SIO website. A post-season report focusing on June-September forecast accuracy and performance compared to the observed minimum will be released after the melt season.

For an overview of the 2025 SIO and detailed instructions for contributions, please visit the Call for Contributions online: https://www.arcus.org/sipn/sea-ice-outlook/2025/call

We encourage all past contributors to submit Outlooks for 2025, and we also hope to see new participants. Please feel free to distribute this announcement to others who might be interested in participating in the SIO. Interested first-time contributors should feel free to reach out to the SIO Team with any questions. We look forward to seeing your predictions!
