Importancia del vínculo ciencia-política: el caso de la transferencia de conocimiento climático para la toma de decisiones

The document identifies a gap between the production of climate information and its actual application in sectors such as health, energy, and agriculture. It attributes this disconnect to mismatches in spatial and temporal scales, the difficulty of interpreting probabilistic data, inherent climate uncertainty, and the conceptualization of the social relevance of scientific research.

• There is a discrepancy between the rate at which climate information is produced and the pace and expectations of its actual use in decision-making.
• Several factors hinder the application of climate science, including conflicts between the immediate, local needs of users and the long-term (100-year), regional, or global perspectives provided by general circulation models (GCMs).
• Additional barriers to the use of climate information include the difficulty users face in processing probabilistic information, the presence of uncertainty due to both scientific knowledge gaps and the chaotic nature of the climate, and the way the social relevance of science is conceived.
