Co-production of climate services: A story map for future coastal flooding for the city of Flensburg

Climate Impact Storylines for Assessing Socio-Economic Responses to Remote Events

“…The steps in the protocol are organized around a central narrative of the chosen storyline, which is segmented into more or less standard scripting building blocks. Surrounding this central narrative the communicative power of the storylines can be promoted by a carefully designed visual and textual language (Jack et al, 2020), application of story maps (Vollstedt et al, 2021), enhancing personal context by use of personas or actors (Moezzi et al, 2017), and other attributes. The synthesis of a collection of storylines does allow extraction of generic principles, calibration of crucial parameters in for instance macro-economic supply-demand interaction models (Robinson and Roland-Holst, 1988;Partridge and Rickman, 2010;Otto et al, 2017), or build conceptual system dynamics or Bayesian network models (Bala et al, 2017) exploring key dynamics, vulnerabilities and adaptation options under specific sets of assumptions.…”

“What is a ‘very severe cyclone’ please”? Uncovering knowledge and communication gaps in climate resilience realities

“…Findings of this study proposes a participatory, scalable, dynamic, bottom-up and real-time process to address specific knowledge, communication and action gaps, to co-produce in climate services (see Fig. 7), that is assuming much greater importance [164][165][166] [71], as it tailors "information products to user needs, with less attention towards the service environment itself" [161]. It can also help connect spatial themes such as land use, transportation and village boundaries to access risk within the hazard zone, evacuation plans as well as temporal themes such as livelihood support, enhancement of human capital [167] [72], especially in the context of frequent and multiple disaster scenarios as experienced over the past decade in the Sundarbans.…”

The Kake Climate Partnership: Implementing a knowledge co-production framework to provide climate services in Southeast Alaska

“…Climate services are science approaches that focus on the usefulness, usability, and practical applications for climate change adaptation planning and mitigation (Brooks, 2013). Increasingly, co-production is acknowledged as a valuable mechanism for providing climate services (Vincent et al, 2018(Vincent et al, , 2020Steynor et al, 2020;Vollstedt et al, 2021). Coproduction can support the generation of climate services that are contextually credible, salient, legitimate (Buontempo et al, 2014;Bremer et al, 2019), and which go beyond the provision of climate information to support procedural benefits, including local empowerment (Baztan et al, 2020).…”
