Climate services co-production principles and insights

This research paper presents insights from the Future Resilience for African CiTies And Lands (FRACTAL) project regarding the co-production of climate services in urban sub-Saharan Africa and other low-income settings, advocating for a shift from product-focused outputs to transdisciplinary knowledge co-production processes centered on collaborative learning.

• The paper utilizes experiences from the Future Resilience for African CiTies And Lands (FRACTAL) project, which operated over six years and focused on addressing climate-related issues across nine cities in six southern African countries.
• The authors argue that climate service providers should move away from prioritizing 'products' and instead adopt 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 contexts that are information-limited and complex.
