The Copernicus Medal 2024 has been awarded to Lisa Alexander for her pioneering and ground-breaking work on climate extremes, observations and model evaluation, her global influence via the World Climate Research Programme, International Association of Meteorology and Atmospheric Sciences and the World Meteorological Organization, and her excellent leadership of the CLIMDEX project.

The Copernicus Medal 2025 has been awarded to Yafang Cheng for her fundamental insights, groundbreaking advances, and impactful public outreach in understanding atmospheric aerosols and their effects on air quality, public health, and climate.

It is Copernicus' great pleasure and honour to present these medals to such outstanding scientists and everybody is invited to attend the corresponding medal lecture and our reception.
