The Climate and Cryosphere Open Science Conference 2026 will be held in Wellington, New Zealand, 9-12 February 2026.
For the 30th anniversary since the beginning of CliC, this Open Science Conference will contribute to the UN Decade of Action for Cryospheric Sciences (2025-2034) and prepare the community for the 5th International Polar Year (2032-2033) with a diverse and cross-discipline town hall meeting. This town hall will provide space for the international and interdisciplinary cryospheric community to connect, discuss needs, find synergies, and plan meaningful action. The conference will also foster discussion around stakeholder engagement with the early career community and produce an edited special issue journal highlighting the resultant new collaborations and scientific advancements.
