Study finds users want climate services merged with local and Indigenous knowledge
1 Sep 14 · 9d ago · 1 article · 1 source · development 1 of 2
The research identified that practitioners want existing climate services improved and new community-specific services created that combine weather forecasts, climate projections, and information about land, water, livelihoods, and local knowledge. The researchers emphasize that developing these services requires time, resources, and institutional commitment to bring together scientists, providers, users, and knowledge holders.
“Simply asking people what climate information they need is not enough. Scientists, providers, users and local and Indigenous knowledge holders need the time, resources and incentives to develop climate services together.”
