Background
The State Key Laboratory of Tropical Oceanography has a long tradition of organizing the International Conference on Tropical Marine Environmental Changes (MEC) every two years since 2001. This well-established series provides a global platform for discussing the latest progress in ocean and climate sciences, while also extending to interdisciplinary studies that connect with marine biogeochemistry, ecosystems, geology, and atmospheric sciences. 
The CLIVAR Climate Dynamics Panel (CDP) Annual Workshop shares a similar mission, aiming to bring together scientists to advance understanding of ocean–atmosphere interactions and climate dynamics, including their variability, predictability, and role in global climate change.
In 2026, these two events will be held jointly under the theme “Abrupt Change and Tipping Points”, hosted by the South China Sea Institute of Oceanology. The joint conference aims to foster interdisciplinary dialogue on how nonlinear processes and feedbacks can drive rapid and potentially irreversible shifts in the Earth system. The joint meeting will provide an opportunity for scientists worldwide to share their insights into the mechanisms, early warnings, and impacts of abrupt changes in the ocean, atmosphere, and Earth’s climate system, and their connections to marine ecosystems, biogeochemistry, paleoclimate, and other marine processes.
 
Tentative Session Topics
The joint conference will feature six scientific sessions designed collaboratively by the CLIVAR CDP and the MEC. These sessions cover a broad range of themes, including climate dynamics, ocean processes, biogeochemical and ecological responses, and marine geological perspectives, reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of abrupt changes and tipping points in the Earth system.
•   Ocean–Atmosphere Interactions and Climate Variability
•   Climate Tipping Elements and Earth System Feedbacks
•   Predictability, Early Warnings, and Climate Risk Assessment
•   Physical Ocean Processes: Abrupt Changes and Marine Tipping Points
•   Marine Geology and Paleoclimate Records of Abrupt Events
•   Ecosystem and Biogeochemical Tipping Points in a Changing Ocean
