Understanding user needs is essential to delivering a climate service that enables the appropriate use of climate information in decision-making. This includes understanding what sources of data and information are trusted by the users.
The resources below provide examples of and guidance, tools and methods for exploring user's (climate and non-climate) data and information needs.
Questions to consider in this step include:
What are users’ detailed (climate and non-climate) data and information needs (e.g. particular parameters, scales etc.) for risk and vulnerability assessments and identifying, appraising and evaluating adaptation options?
What decision support method(s) are suitable for the appraisal and evaluation of adaptation options? What data and information needs are required for these methods? (linked to Step 6)
What existing data and information is available, and are these trusted sources? Which actors hold this data and information (linked to Step 4)?
What does it take to mainstream disaster risk management in key sectors?
The economic cost and value of options is an important factor in deciding which options of those selected should be prioritised. The resources below provide examples of and guidance, tools and methods for undertaking economic analyses of adaptation options.
