The next generation of climate services needs not only tailoring to specific user needs but to provide, in addition, access to key information in a usable way that satisfies the needs of different users’ profiles; especially web-based services. Here, we present the outcomes from developing such a new interactive prototype. The service provides data for robust climate analysis to underpin decision-making when planning measures to compensate for climate impact. The goal is to facilitate the communication on climate information between climate modelling communities and adaptation or mitigation initiatives from vulnerable countries that are applying for funds from the Green Climate Fund (GCF). A participatory process was ensured during four workshops in four pilot countries, with an audience of national and international experts. During this process it was made clear that in all countries there is a strong need for knowledge in climate science, while in most countries there was also an increasing need of capacity in hydrological modelling and water management. The active interaction during the workshops was found necessary to facilitate the dialogue between service developers and users. Understanding the users, transparency on potentials and limitations of climate services together with capacity development in climate science and methods were required components in the development of the service.

设计气候服务以计划脆弱国家的气候行动

下一代气候服务不仅需要针对特定​​的用户需求进行调整，而且还需要以一种可满足不同用户配置文件需求的可用方式提供对关键信息的访问；尤其是基于Web的服务。在这里，我们介绍了开发这样一个新的交互式原型的结果。该服务为计划气候补偿措施提供可靠的气候分析数据，以支持决策制定。目的是促进气候建模社区之间的气候信息交流，以及正在申请绿色气候基金（GCF）资金的脆弱国家的适应或减缓举措。在四个试点国家的四个讲习班期间，确保了参与性过程，并有国内和国际专家参加。在此过程中，很明显，在所有国家中，对气候科学知识的需求非常强烈，而在大多数国家中，对水文建模和水管理能力的需求也越来越高。研讨会期间的积极互动被发现对于促进服务开发人员和用户之间的对话是必要的。了解用户，气候服务潜力和局限性的透明性以及气候科学和方法的能力发展是服务发展的组成部分。研讨会期间的积极互动被发现对于促进服务开发人员和用户之间的对话是必要的。了解用户，气候服务潜力和局限性的透明性以及气候科学和方法的能力发展是服务发展的组成部分。研讨会期间的积极互动被发现对于促进服务开发人员和用户之间的对话是必要的。了解用户，气候服务潜力和局限性的透明性以及气候科学和方法的能力发展是服务发展的组成部分。
