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.
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.
“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.
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.
Transdisciplinarity, co-production, and co-exploration
This working paper presents the concepts of transdisciplinarity, knowledge co-production, and coexploration and their challenges, and how they are being operationalised in FRACTAL.
A guide to Effective Collaboration and Learning in Consortia
This guide helps to establish effective transdiciplinary learning processes and co-production of knowledge with a diverse range of stakeholders.
An Embedded Researcher approach to integrate climate information into decision making in southern African cities
The overall aim of the FRACTAL Embedded Researcher project is to adapt southern African cities to function better and more equitably within both the present and the future climate.
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.
Co-producing climate knowledge
'Co-production’ of climate knowledge is far from easy to achieve in practice. This article looks at what we mean by 'co-production', the challenges involved, and how we can move forward.
Dialogue for decision-making: the ‘City Learning Lab’ approach
The FRACTAL ‘City Learning Lab’ approach is designed to facilitate problem-solving at the intersection of climate change and urbanization trends across cities in Southern Africa.
FRACTAL climate and cities project
The FRACTAL (2015-2019) project advanced scientific knowledge about Southern Africa's climate, and integrated this knowledge into decisions at the city-regional scale.
