A framework for co-designing “transdisciplinary knowledge integration processes”
This paper seeks to reconceptualize climate services in light of the prevailing inability of existing climate information to spur needed policy and action. It focusses on the transdisciplinary knowledge co-production process rather than the output of a climate services product.
Co-exploratory climate risk workshops
