Policy Brief: Activating global climate data through co-creating local climate services: Early warning systems used by all

This policy brief shares findings from research developed in the I-CISK project with the aim to inform policy and actions in developing early warning systems that are credible, salient, and legitimate; three key factors that foster uptake. Four key recommendations are provided: (i) Place the decisions users make and the needs they have as a starting point, (ii) Enable local actors to contribute knowledge, (iii) Make local data accessible to foster tailoring to user needs, (iv) Incorporate all organisations on the full early warning value chain. Please refer to the full brief for more details.
