Shifting Power Through Climate Research
Colonial legacies and unequal divisions of power embedded within Global North-South relationships continue to affect and shape climate research. This article explores how these dynamics can be better considered and addressed during research processes.
Principles for Co-Producing Climate Services: Practical Insights from FRACTAL
Explore principles for co-producing climate services based on FRACTAL project evidence and experiences through this working paper.
FRACTAL Principles
Throughout the FRACTAL project, the team determined several lessons for research and society, particularly with regard to working towards inclusive, contextual, and proactive climate research and action. Engage with the principles that underpinned the climate resilience work in the project.

Climate risk narratives
This article introduces the concept of Climate Risk Narratives (CRNs), their origin, and their evolution through a trans-disciplinary engaged research activity around urban climate resilience.
Co-designing climate services to support adaptation to natural hazards: a case study from Karlstad, Sweden
This case study describes how the co-design of climate services helped support adaptation to multiple water hazards in the municipality of Karlstad, Sweden.
Co-designing climate services to support adaptation to natural hazards: a case study from Stockholm, Sweden
This case study describes how the co-design of climate services helped support adaptation to heat waves in Stockholm, Sweden
Co-designing climate services to support adaptation to natural hazards
Drawing on two Swedish case studies, this brief aims to understand how the co-design of climate services can support adaptation planning and decision-making.
SENSES Toolkit
The SENSES Toolkit, developed in the EC SENSES project, offers a range of modules for finance, policy and regional decision makers to learn about and explore climate change scenarios.
Climate Change Mitigation in Developing Countries
This MOOC course, developed by UCT, gives participants the opportunity and skills to consider how societies can be lifted out of poverty while also mitigating greenhouse gas emissions.
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.
Canadian Centre for Climate Services
The Canadian Centre for Climate Services (CCCS) is a dedicated multi-disciplinary team and platform aimed at helping Canadians understand, and become more resilient to climate change.
Ten ways to support climate change adaptation planning and decision-making
This brief, developed by researchers and facilitators working with municipal governments, provides targeted recommendations for co-designing actionable and user-focused climate services.
Learning from Future Climate for Africa
This article takes stock of the lessons emerging from FCFA’s collective experience in undertaking transdisciplinary research that can be used to inform future investments on climate and development.
Towards developing a common language for climate change in the City of Cape Town
This research aimed to better understand and circumvent language discrepancies at a city scale. It provides a toolkit to better understand and overcome terminology barriers.
“How-to” Guide: Co-exploring Terminologies
This brief explains how to conduct a terminology co-exploration exercise for climate change adaptation decision-making.
"Explainer" Guide: Co-exploring Terminologies
This brief explains why co-exploring language and terminology is important for creating a level playing field at the beginning of a multi-stakeholder engagement.
Improving the co-production of climate services for agriculture
This case study aimed to strengthen capacities of farmers and government officials to understand and share climate information and best practices to inform agricultural decision-making in Nigeria.
Learning Labs in Windhoek (video)
This video outlines how the Learning Labs approach brings stakeholders together to tackle climate change adaptation issues emerging in urban Africa.
Framework for needs-informed research
This paper presents a framework for needs-informed research aimed at understanding the climate processes driving the African climate system's natural variability and response to global change.
Partners in Science: Tearing down the ivory tower
Community-based participatory research has been gaining traction for the past two decades. Nature talked to three research groups that have built successful co-produced projects with this approach.
Receptivity and judgement: expanding ways of knowing the climate to strengthen the resilience of cities
This paper discusses how receptivity of decision-makers, scientists and other knowledge-holders can be exercised and increased to enhance the co-production of actionable climate information.
Joint knowledge for improved climate services: Swedish forestry sector
This paper identifies enablers/barriers to successful science‐stakeholder collaboration, making recommendations to achieve participatory processes in the Swedish forestry sector.
The Tandem framework
The Tandem framework provides a holistic approach for the co-design of climate services. The seven-step approach is designed to help scientists, intermediaries and decision-makers collaborate.
