In the first week of December, we were delighted to welcome a subset of our Domain Leads to Potsdam for what proved to be a highly productive meeting. Unfortunately, we were only able to meet some of our members in person, as several (seven, by our count!) were simultaneously participating in IPCC Lead Author Meeting in Paris marking the commencement of work on the IPCC’s Seventh Assessment Report.
Our sectoral coordination team based at PIK and the MPI-GEA facilitated an exchange across the various domains. Through a series of focused discussions, we were able to identify shared priorities, align ongoing efforts, and sketch a preliminary roadmap for the coming years. These discussions laid the groundwork for stronger cross-domain collaboration and will help guide the strategic development of our activities moving forward in 2026 and 2027.
