Regional Climate ServicesThe development and delivery of climate products and servicesthat are on time and spatial scales needed most by decision‐

makers

Development and Delivery: requires and end‐to‐end iterative system that links research, modeling and assessment activities to product and services development, along with delivery systems and capacity building to help users incorporate new knowledge into their decision making. 

Products and Services:  climate information and decision support tools that expand one’s understanding of risk and impacts and promote identification of adaptation and mitigation options

Time and spatial scales: climate impacts are felt closest to home.  Users need timely, place‐based information on climate risks and impacts in order to make informed decisions.

Decision‐makers:  users of climate information representing all public and private sectors of activity.  These are climate stakeholders.

Maintain and evaluate relevance – regional/local issues, in touch with what matters

Iterative, consistent, continuous, reliable, trustworthy Across time scales – 2 weeks to 100 years Problem‐focused approach – understand place & history Avoid reinvention – build on existing relationships and work Joint solutions – work together to solve needs Leverage partnerships & networks – key element for success Recognize capacities – resources (time, funds, experience, knowledge)

Some Regional Climate Service Fundamentals: 

The process of engagement is as important as the outcome

Page 4: Providing Regional Climate Services

Monitoring – value add, trends, anomalies Data – instrumentation, collection, database Prediction – interpret, place/sector based Outreach – inform decisions, accessibility Education – building capacity for understanding Research – applied, useable Linkages – leveraging networks, knowledge and resources
