Climate services co-production principles and insights

The paper argues for a shift in climate services from a product-oriented approach to a transdisciplinary knowledge co-production process centered on collaborative learning, drawing on six years of experience from the FRACTAL project in southern African cities.

• The authors recommend that climate service providers move away from focusing on the delivery of specific 'products' and instead embrace a transdisciplinary knowledge co-production 'process' where collaborative learning is the primary characteristic.
• Co-production is identified as the preferred method for creating climate services, particularly in decision-making environments that are complex and lack sufficient information.
