Climate services are instrumental for translating scientific and local knowledge insights into practical applications empowering communities to efficiently tackle climate change challenges. This interactive session will explore co-creation of climate services, which are based on inclusive and novel methodologies and integration of multiple knowledge systems - researchers, policy makers, industry stakeholders, and local communities. We invite contributions on innovative data, methodologies and case studies of successful partnerships, and lessons learned from transdisciplinary projects.
Key topics include:
(1)Bottom-up engagement strategies for co-creating services that address specific requirements, such as climate risk assessments and adaptation solutions.
(2)Harnessing data from Earth observations, modelling, and socio-economic analyses to develop affordable and accessible tools, platforms and work practices
(3)Overcoming challenges like data accessibility, transdisciplinary knowledge exchange and communication, and scalability across varying contexts, ranging from urban planning to agriculture.
(4)Assessing the societal impact of co-created services through usability, equity, and policy adoption parameters.
The session aims to advance climate services that empower a broad array of stakeholders, ensuring science is not only robust but also relevant and transformative for real-world applications. We encourage submissions from early-career researchers and practitioners to highlight emerging practices and future directions. We encourage idea-sharing and contributions that can create a ripple effect of climate action across different socio-ecological contexts
