Climate Resilient Urban Planning in Southern Africa

The document outlines insights from the FRACTAL and FRACTAL-Plus projects, arguing that climate services should transition from a product-driven focus to a process-driven approach centered on decision-making needs, learning, and relationship-building.

• The authors advocate for a shift in climate services from a focus on delivering specific products to an approach that prioritizes the processes, contexts, and needs of decision-making.
• The development or provision of a climate information product should be considered a single part of a broader climate service process rather than the final objective.
• Climate services achieve greater effectiveness and longevity when they prioritize the establishment of networks, relationships, and learning through engagement processes.
