Warming-Induced Emissions (WIE), including methane, carbon dioxide, and nitrous oxide released from thawing permafrost, warming wetlands, fires, and other climate-sensitive natural systems, are increasingly contributing to global greenhouse gas emissions. These emissions amplify climate change beyond current projections, yet remain poorly quantified. WIE are largely excluded from climate models, carbon budgets, and policy frameworks, creating a critical blind spot in global mitigation, adaptation, and greenhouse gas removal strategies.
The Warming-Induced Emissions Model Intercomparison Project (WIEMIP) is a funded coordinated international scientific effort to improve projections of warming-induced emissions and fast-tracked to ensure they are reflected in major climate assessment and policy processes, including the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Seventh Assessment Report (AR7) and the next Global Stocktake under the Paris Agreement. By integrating these emissions into modeling frameworks and overshoot pathways, WIEMIP aims to provide a more complete and policy-relevant picture of the global carbon budget and the level of ambition required for mitigation and removals.
Specifically, WIEMIP seeks to:
The workshop will feature modeling group presentations and structured data report-outs, cross-model analysis and comparison sessions, dedicated time for synthesis, protocol refinement, and collaborative writing. Expected outcomes include alignment on data outputs, resolution of key scientific or technical challenges, progress toward coordinated publications, and clear next steps to ensure WIE-MIP remains on track for the IPCC AR7 timeline.
The attendee list and participant profiles are regularly updated. For information on participant affiliation at the time of workshop, please refer to the historical roster. If you are aware of updates needed to participant or workshop records, please notify AGCI’s workshops team.
