Each year, ISC affiliated bodies Future Earth and The World Climate Research Programme, together with The Earth League, invite leading scientists to review the most pressing issues in climate change-related research in the frame of 10 New Insights in Climate Science (10NICS).

The initiative summarizes the results into 10 concise insights which highlight recent advances in climate change research, with the purpose of equipping policy-makers and the general public with essential knowledge to make sense of, and confront, the climate emergency.


The initiative is seeking input for the 10NICS 2023 edition from researchers across all disciplines working with issues related to climate change. Deadline for contributions is 17 February

The 10 New Insights in Climate Science ("10NICS") series is an annual syntheses highlighting key recent advances in climate change research, with the purpose of equipping policymakers and the general public with essential knowledge to make sense of and confront the climate emergency. This is a joint initiative of Future Earth, The Earth League, and The World Climate Research Programme. 

The 10NICS report has been launched since 2017 at the UNFCCC COP with the participation of the Executive Secretary. The report itself is based on the contents of an academic manuscript submitted for publication in a peer-reviewed journal. This ensures the rigour and credibility of the report. The manuscript from last year was published in the journal Global Sustainability, as was the case in 2020 and 2021.

The 10NICS process starts with a request to researchers across and beyond our institutional networks, aiming to gather contributions from around the world and covering a wide range of topic expertise. We also use this questionnaire to identify potential co-authors for the policy report and the academic manuscript.

We welcome your contribution: Please share with us what you consider to be a key recent advance in climate change research that you think should be highlighted for policymakers. Relevant topics span a very broad scholarship on the underlying dynamics and impacts of climate change, and the possible means for confronting the climate emergency. 

Completing this questionnaire takes approximately 15 minutes.

If you have any questions or comments, do not hesitate to contact us: clea.edwards@asu.edu and daniel.ospina@futureearth.org

This call will close on February 17, 2023 (00:00 CET)
