- - - - - - - - Call for Submissions — MANILA25: SIGIR 2025 Workshop on Information Retrieval for Climate Impact Climate change is a far-reaching, global phenomenon that will impact many aspects of our society. The evidence base for observed climate impacts is expanding, and the wider climate literature (white and grey) is growing exponentially. How can effective access be provided to the growing body of peer-reviewed literature on climate change impacts? This year we are particularly interested in tracking climate adaptation literature (white and grey) and welcome contributions on this topic. Purpose The emphasis of MANILA25 will be on discussion, not a mini-conference but a dynamic sharing of ideas. The workshop will be organized along three areas of interest: (i) Addressing information needs concerning climate change impacts; (ii) Updates to the IR for Climate Change agenda that resulted from the MANILA24 workshop (see https://arxiv.org/abs/2504.01162), and (iii) Tracking climate adaptation. During the workshop, we will work towards updating the MANILA24 agenda and creating an actionable technical research agendas around tracking climate adaptation. Call for contributions To help shape a research agenda for information retrieval for climate impact, we welcome technical contributions and position papers as extended abstracts (2-4 pages) on a wide range of topics related to information retrieval for climate change impacts, including but not limited to very large-scale systematic reviews, climate language models, geolocated literature with climate information, evidence synthesis. Be sure to emphasize how your ideas connect to IR for climate change impacts and the ambition to create an agenda on the topic. Important dates - May 7, 2025: Extended abstracts due (AOE) - May 21, 2025: Notifications - July 17, 2025: Workshop at SIGIR 2025 - November 30, 2025: Submission of the Information Retrieval for Climate Impact Agenda for publication in SIGIR Forum How to submit Extended abstracts submitted to the workshop should be in English, in PDF, and formatted using the standard ACM sigconf format (using \documentclass[sigconf, natbib=true, anonymous=false]{acmart}). The review process is single-blind. The workshop uses EasyChair to handle submissions: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=manila25. No official proceedings will be published.
