The safe landing climate is focusing on multidecadal to millennial timescales, organised in 5 themes & Working Groups:

Safe landing pathways (CC scenarios); Understanding HRES events (regimes shift, compound events); Perturbed Carbon cycle (CO2); Water resources (eg. deforestation); Sea Level Rise .

A GEWEX Newsletter article describes the focus. 

Digital Earth focus on Global & Regional info information on past, present, future. DE will link existing large scale programmes (which are created by large investmentinvestments). Three main Themesthemes in DE:

1. Fully coupled km scale regional & global (an opportunity for seamlessness between systems, thanks to overlapping resolutions). Regions focus to analyse the DE output (South America, Arctic, connect on RHP) Lead: Cathy Honeger 
   A NCAR workshop on 3-7 October 2022 Boulder (km-scale ESM) 
2. Data assimilation for climate (reanalyses, although most are built in NWP context more than climate, exception NASA built for climate apps). Lead: ? 
   A NCAR workshop on 19-20 May (DA4Climate, after US Clivar meeting)
3. Beyond Physical Earth System (include human interactions & impacts). Lead: Andreas Prime
   RHP (need co-funding of agencies) & ISIMIP (Inter-Sectoral-Impact) contacts 

Comment: DE could/should push to endorse, re-groupe & link all storm resolving projects (in EU Nextgems (& Dyamond), Destine Programme, in US, AU).

Comment: A way to overcome initial aversion to DE would be to show added value of this New generation of DE models will do (precipitation & hydrological extremes, clouds, wind) to show how they fit the needs.

Comment: Links to ESMO (Lead: Cath Senior) are going to be important as there is important overlaps. ESMO will lead with all timescales so
