The [[World Climate Research Programme]] (WCRP), hosted by the [[World Meteorological Organization]] (WMO), coordinates research activities on climate modelling worldwide.

A 2012 [[U.S. National Research Council]] report discussed how the large and diverse U.S. climate modeling enterprise could evolve to become more unified.<ref>{{cite web | title=U.S. National Research Council Report, ''A National Strategy for Advancing Climate Modeling'' | url=http://dels.nas.edu/Report/National-Strategy-Advancing-Climate/13430 | access-date=18 January 2021 | archive-date=3 October 2012 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121003043232/http://dels.nas.edu/Report/National-Strategy-Advancing-Climate/13430 | url-status=dead }}</ref> Efficiencies could be gained by developing a common software infrastructure shared by all U.S. climate researchers, and holding an annual climate modeling forum, the report found.<ref>{{cite web | title=U.S. National Research Council Report-in-Brief, ''A National Strategy for Advancing Climate Modeling'' | url=http://dels.nas.edu/Materials/Report-In-Brief/4291-Climate-Modeling | access-date=3 October 2012 | archive-date=18 October 2012 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121018071324/http://dels.nas.edu/Materials/Report-In-Brief/4291-Climate-Modeling | url-status=dead }}</ref>
