Climate service production constraints in Sweden

The paper examines why climate service producers in Sweden struggle to provide actionable information for climate adaptation, shifting the focus from producer incompetence to the systemic constraints they face. Based on interviews and participant observation, the authors identify funding, institutional, and professional barriers, while noting that even when actionable information is delivered, other external factors may still prevent its translation into practical action.

• Climate service producers in Sweden are subject to a variety of funding, institutional, and professional constraints that hinder their capacity to provide the type and quality of information required by decision-makers for climate-smart action.
• The delivery of actionable information by climate service producers does not guarantee implementation, as other unspecified factors can still obstruct the translation of that information into action.
