Editorial statement
Cloud feedbacks are a critical component of the climate system and key to modelling and understanding the changing climate. This paper presents the cloud feedback modelling component of CMIP7. The paper presents the key questions in cloud feedback modelling in a clear and accessible way, in addition to describing the technical requirements for Cloud Feedback Model Intercomparison Project. It should be read by everyone wishing to understand the role of clouds in climate models.

Short summary
Clouds constitute a key uncertainty for climate change projections. The Cloud Feedback Model Intercomparison Project (CFMIP) aims to address this challenge by evaluating and understanding clouds and their impacts on atmospheric circulation, precipitation, and climate sensitivity. The present paper describes the CFMIP experiment protocol for the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 7 (CMIP7), and discusses the accompanying science questions and opportunities for progress.
