Evolución y futuro de los servicios climáticos

Abstract

Climate services are the provision of climate information for use in decision-making taking into account the context and values of those involved. As climate information is only one, possibly relatively minor, element of what is needed by those climate-sensitive decision makers, climate services need to be integrated with other information or services of relevance to the decision-makers. This creates much of the context to be taken into account in the co-production approaches typically used in climate services to create value. This presentation will describe the recent evolution, landscape, and market of climate services, the actors in the landscape, what climate services are being used for, and highlight some of the successes and gaps. The presentation will be based on experiences from research projects and service contracts.
