Abstract

Generative AI can help scale climate services to meet growing demand. This approach is illustrated here with two prototype AI systems designed to enhance access to climate data, support decision-making, and improve efficiency. Key concerns are identified around responsibility, quality, and trustworthiness of AI outputs. Emerging best practices in system development are linked to core principles of salience, credibility, and legitimacy, to ensure alignment with user needs and societal values.

Navigating the tensions of co-producing climate adaptation research

Calls to co-produce climate adaptation research with communities are multiplying, yet engagement often remains shallow: communities are consulted, not granted shared authority over how problems are framed, findings are interpreted, and outputs are used. This Perspective distinguishes instrumental engagement from epis...
