- Abstract: The purpose of the MANILA24 Workshop on information retrieval for climate impact was to bring together researchers from academia, industry, governments, and NGOs to identify and discuss core research problems in information retrieval to assess climate change impacts. The workshop aimed to foster collaboration by bringing communities together that have so far not been very well connected -- information retrieval, natural language processing, systematic reviews, impact assessments, and climate science. The workshop brought together a diverse set of researchers and practitioners interested in contributing to the development of a technical research agenda for information retrieval to assess climate change impacts.

We contribute a multi-modal climate benchmark, i.e., ClimateBench-M, which aligns time series climate data from ERA5, extreme weather events data from NOAA, and satellite image data from NASA.
Under each data modality, we also propose a simple but strong generative method that could produce competitive performance in weather forecasting, thunderstorm alerts, and crop segmentation tasks.

We find that commonly recommended approaches to addressing manipulation about climate change include corrective information sharing and education campaigns targeting media literacy.
We locate research gaps that include the lack of attention to large commercial and political entities involved in generating and disseminating manipulation.
Evidence drawn from many studies demonstrates an emerging consensus about policies required to promote reliable knowledge about climate change and resist manipulation.
