Abstract Urban decision-makers are increasingly focused on enhancing community resilience in anticipation of more frequent and intense impacts from climate variability and change. These impacts will manifest in complex and nuanced ways, particularly when coupled with additional social, economic, and environmental shifts that vary across contexts. Given these challenges, urban decision-makers are seeking new knowledge, and new ways of using existing knowledge, to support decision-making processes. In response, a broad range of knowledge products (i.e. decision-support tools, climate services) have been developed for urban areas. Yet, to date, little research has directly evaluated these products. The Knowledge Product Evaluation (KnoPE) framework addresses this gap by providing both conceptual clarity surrounding knowledge products and a structured, generalizable methodology to guide research and support improved knowledge product creation and uptake. The KnoPE Framework combines data and information on knowledge products, their use in decision-making over time, and evidence of tangible actions taken. The KnoPE Framework was developed with two urban resilience knowledge products – the Urban-Climate Adaptation Tool and the Maine Flood Resilience Checklist. Initial testing indicates that the KnoPE Framework can assess the transferability, scalability, and use of knowledge products in urban resilience decision-making. Any evaluation using the KnoPE Framework requires a thorough understanding of the contextual details of each case and understanding what factors may influence knowledge product development and subsequent decision-making processes and outcomes. Yet, as an analytical entry point for the evaluation of knowledge products, the KnoPE Framework can offer insights regarding the extent to which knowledge products influence urban resilience decision-making processes.

将知识产品评估 (KnoPE) 框架应用于美国的两个城市复原力案例

摘要 城市决策者越来越关注增强社区抵御能力，以应对气候变率和变化带来的更频繁和更强烈的影响。这些影响将以复杂而微妙的方式表现出来，特别是当伴随着因环境而异的额外社会、经济和环境变化时。鉴于这些挑战，城市决策者正在寻求新知识和使用现有知识的新方法，以支持决策过程。作为回应，已经为城市地区开发了广泛的知识产品（即决策支持工具、气候服务）。然而，迄今为止，很少有研究直接评估这些产品。知识产品评估 (KnoPE) 框架通过提供围绕知识产品的概念清晰度和结构化的、指导研究和支持改进的知识产品创造和吸收的通用方法。KnoPE 框架结合了关于知识产品的数据和信息、它们在决策中的使用以及所采取的切实行动的证据。KnoPE 框架是用两个城市复原力知识产品开发的——城市气候适应工具和缅因州洪水复原力清单。初步测试表明，KnoPE 框架可以评估知识产品在城市韧性决策中的可转移性、可扩展性和使用。任何使用 KnoPE 框架的评估都需要对每个案例的上下文细节有透彻的了解，并了解哪些因素可能会影响知识产品的开发以及随后的决策过程和结果。然而，
