“…However, given how important climate is to many forms of tourism, such as winter sports and beach vacations, the industry may greatly benefit from relevant and useful CSs, both so-called seasonal CSs and long-term CSs, for better adaptation to CC [72][73][74][75]. Finally, CSs can provide weather and climate data to the travel and tourism sector, allowing the implementation of educated decisions on travel seasons, outdoor activities, and proactive measures to avoid the visitors' endangerment associated with adverse weather [76][77][78].…”

Climate change is already having a negative impact on many areas of human activity, affecting life globally. It is more urgent than ever to increase our adaptive capacity to respond to current and future climate change risks. Climate services refer to a specialized sector that encompasses both research and operational activities. This sector is primarily focused on interpreting and communicating knowledge and information about climate risks in a manner that is tailored to meet the specific needs of diverse user communities. Climate services offer a range of specialized outputs, including forecasts, assessments, and advisories, which enable users to make decisions that are based on an understanding of the potential impacts of climate change. The outputs of climate services are designed to help diverse user communities effectively manage risks and capitalize on opportunities arising from climate variability and change. An attempt is made to outline the fundamental elements of climate services and point out their contribution to various aspects of human activity, focusing on their essential role in the adaptability of the priority for action agricultural sector, which appears as considerably vulnerable to the change of considerably susceptible to climate conditions. This article is structured to answer basic questions about climate services in general and to show the specificities of climate services in the agricultural sector.

“…As far back as the mid-1960s, scholars Roger Randall and Hans Suess were influential in the early development of knowledge into the interrelationship between fossil fuels and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere; Their early pioneering work extended to the study of tourism planning processes in the 1970s [29]. The study of climate change by those that would characterise themselves as tourism scholars first emerged in the 1980s [30], and over the ensuing nearly four decades, the study of climate change in tourism has become more sophisticated [30,31] growing from a focus on gathering and presenting empirical data of climate-related themes in the early twentieth century [32] towards more of an impression that academics must advocate for particular climate futures that commensurate with their specific areas of knowledge and expertise [33].…”

Climate clocks are currently ticking down to a point in time when it will be impossible to arrest the rate of CO2 emissions within the bounds of the parameters set by the Paris Climate Agreement. The tourism academy has been at the forefront of efforts to draw attention to the climate threat and to develop adaptation and mitigation responses in conjunction with industry. However, whilst the tourism academy is generally said to be in lock-step with the urgency of the climate threat and tourism’s need to respond, outliers do exist. Why might a tourism scholar view the urgency of the climate threat differently from his or her colleagues? Drawing on conceptual insights from Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity, the present paper explores the sociological framing of time in relation to tourism academics and the implications for the development of a tourism knowledge force-field as a foundation for tourism knowledge creation.

“…Past studies have used many climate indices for tourism (Matzarakis, 2006;Matzarakis et al, 2021a, b;Amiranshvili et al, 2011Amiranshvili et al, , 2015aAmiranshvili et al, , 2018Amiranshvili et al, , 2022Amiranshvili et al, , 2019Bolashvili et al, 2016;Lanchava et al, 2021;Rutty et al, 2021;Kartvelishvili et al, 2023). The most widely known index used both in the past and in the present is the Tourist Climate Index (TCI), proposed by Mieczkowski (1985).…”
