The IX Convection Permitting Climate Modeling Workshop

Workshop Theme: Extreme Precipitation in Coastal Cities


5-7 August 2025
The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology
Hong Kong


 

Text Area

As tropical coastal cities face growing threats from extreme precipitation and flooding, the need to better quantify and manage climate risk is becoming urgent. Climate scientists, policymakers, infrastructure planners, and stakeholders across sectors must work together to strengthen urban resilience in the face of a changing climate. The Convection-Permitting Climate Modeling (CPCM) Workshop is the premier international forum dedicated to advancing high-resolution climate modeling, particularly focusing on extreme precipitation and convective processes.

The upcoming 9th CPCM Workshop will be held in Asia for the first time, hosted in-person at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology from 5–7 August 2025. This is especially timely, as climate change is intensifying the need to better predict extreme rainfall in tropical coastal cities, where storms are most intense and hardest to forecast.

The workshop will focus on three critical themes:

Building on the core scientific discussions of the workshop, the CPCM Public Forum will be held on 8 August. The forum will bring together climate scientists, policymakers, and industry leaders to deepen understanding of extreme precipitation events in urban coastal regions, explore adaptation strategies, and share best practices for addressing one of the most pressing climate challenges facing coastal cities today. Please stay tuned with us for the details of the Public Forum.
