Introducing the new CLIVAR logo

For three decades, the CLIVAR logo has been more than a symbol; it has been the emblem of countless discoveries and the dedication of a global community. To many of us, it is a part of our own scientific journey.

In a pivotal step that mirrors the forward-looking discussions at our recent Pan-CLIVAR meeting - where we began charting our course for the next decade - we stand proud to embrace a new chapter.

We are pleased to introduce our new CLIVAR logo, developed in alignment with the new World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) brand identity launched in 2024.

Inspired by our planet as an interconnected system, the stylized lines represent the waves of a dynamic ocean and atmosphere, in a spectrum of vibrant colours representing Earth's key systems: blue ocean, cyan ice, yellow atmosphere, and green land. With the WCRP emblem at its core, the logo symbolizes our unified purpose: to advance understanding and predicting the climate system, foster global scientific collaboration, and strengthen our commitment to bridging science and society.

This is more than a visual update. It reflects our readiness to lead, innovate, and connect in a world that needs climate science more than ever. We stand on the foundation built upon 30 years of legacy, now marching forward to a new era with renewed energy and a cohesive vision.

Our new branding will be fully rolling out in the coming weeks, with the new logo adopted across all our platforms in January 2026.
