The International Commission on Coupled Land-Atmosphere Systems (ICCLAS) is a scientific commission of IAHS that advances understanding of interactions between terrestrial hydrology, land-surface processes, and the atmosphere. The Commission focuses on how climate variability, climate change, and land-use dynamics affect freshwater availability, water quality, and hydrometeorological extremes, particularly in data-sparse and vulnerable regions. Its activities promote integrated observations, modelling, and forecasting of water, energy, and biogeochemical fluxes across scales, supporting decision-making, risk reduction, and climate adaptation through international collaboration, scientific meetings, capacity building, synthesis publications, and links with climate, water, and Earth-system programmes. Keywords: coupled land-atmosphere systems; hydrometeorology; climate variability and change; hydrological and meteorological prediction; floods and droughts; land-surface modelling; evapotranspiration; Earth observation.
