This report provides a summary of the first CMIP Forcings drop-in sessions held on 7 June 2023 across two timeslots (05:00 UTC and 16:00 UTC) to support equitable global participation. These sessions aimed to facilitate community discussion on the development and use of forcing datasets. Each session was chaired by one of the CMIP Panel Co-chairs, John Dunne (GFDL/NOAA) and Helene Hewitt (Met Office) and led by theForcings Task Teamco-leads,Paul Durack(PCMDI/LLNL) andVaishali Naik(GFDL/NOAA), with input from the wider members of the task team. Participants were introduced to the task team's members and stakeholders together with the core goals they are seeking to address. Further, feedback received in the recent Future CMIP Forcings Community Survey was outlined and how the task team is addressing issues raised here, to deliver to CMIP7 and tackle longer term scientific challenges, before opening the session for an interactive dialogue with participants.

Presentation slides given during the CMIP Forcings drop in sessions held on 7th June 2023 at 05:00 and 15:00 UTC. Slides provide an overview of CMIP7 planning at the time of the event, as well as updates from the Forcings Task Teamand the discussion points raised to get community feedback on.
