“…and 'By when are we likely to have additional information that may change our risk perceptions and/or decisions?' Distinguish between 'direct' risks, that deal with individual impacts resulting from a given change in climate, and might be the targets of adaptation actions at local and regional scales, and 'systemic' risks, that relate to major, potentially interconnected failures across multiple regions or sectors, and thus provide important motivation for adaptation and mitigation actions at larger scales (see also Kennel et al 2016). change assessments to be effective in supporting risk management, they must be co-produced by subject matter experts and users (Lemos and Morehouse 2005, Meadow et al 2015, Moser and Davidson 2016.…”

“… That adaptation decisions in health and other sectors will have significant impacts on the burden of climate-sensitive health outcomes and on health sector operations, and the many-to-one relationship can make it difficult to identify indicators of principal relevance to health. Due to inherent uncertainties and long-term trends, a significant element of climate change adaptation relates to institutional learning and knowledge management to facilitate iterative risk management, in which information regarding changing hazards associated with climate change is continuously integrated into processes that prepare for and manage health risks over time [ 3 , 4 , 5 ]. …”

“…Within the broader climate literature, improving scientific prediction and observation systems has received a great deal of attention, while the usability of the information has not (Kennel, Briggs, & Victor, 2016;Lemos et al, 2012). Also, in the Polar Regions, investments in observing and forecasting capabilities require major commitments (WMO, 2013), but attention is also increasingly necessary to accommodate user requirements and tailor WWIC services to specific uses during the Year of Polar Prediction (YOPP) (WMO, 2016).…”
