The document discusses plans for the next generation of the Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF2). ESGF2 will have improved capabilities to handle exponentially larger climate and Earth system model data volumes. It will leverage the Globus platform for scalable central services and use cases. The project has already used Globus to replicate 7.5 PB of climate data between laboratories, demonstrating ESGF2's focus on reliable, high-performance data distribution. Governance structures and user support services will also be enhanced to support scientific discovery.
