2
Informal, interdisciplinary partnership (200+) working to improve climate services development and provision
Focused on creating knowledge/information resources, fostering collaborations to establish and improve on good practices
Created in 2011 at first International Conference on Climate Services (ICCS1)
Organization: Coordinating Group International office
The Climate Services Partnership

Knowledge Capture and Exchange:Interactive database of current climate services activities– what, where– theme/sector, institutions– business model, governance, …
Case studies (joint with GFCS):– basic information– experiences, lessons learned, opportunities for improvement (40+ identified)
Assessments:– facilitated, independent analysis; address costs/benefits; gaps; opportunities– Mali agromet program, India agricultural climate services first subjects

Case Studies
All regions (most in Africa)Subnational to regional; 2 globalWeather to climate change timescales (most seasonal to interannual)

Capacity gaps
Challenges in communicating informationChallenges in link between users and providersLack of capacity on part of providerFundingData

Case study analysis: Four lessons
• Human capacity is key and requires continuous investment
• Bridging & tailoring takes time • Working with existing infrastructure can be
extremely effective• Climate services should be part of a larger risk
management strategy

Some other CSP activities
• Evaluation – phase II– new methodology (modest investment), ~10 studies planned
• Economic valuation of climate services– Literature review, guidance document (book)
• Review of climate services guidance/training material• Climate service mapping activity (with EU/JPI-Climate, CSC)• CSP Knowledge Exchange (webinars/e-discussion forum)• Scaling up climate services for farmers in Africa and S. Asia
(with CCAFS)

ICCS3: Montego Bay, Jamaica!December 4-6, 2013
Ideas:• Drought and related climate services• Coastal management/adaptation
– Coral reefs
• Insurance and climate risk management
• Health and climate – dengue, ..• Climate services ethics• Prioritizing research for supporting
climate services• CSP activities and results• Side events, training sessions, etc.
ICCS 2 – Brussels, Sept 2012

Four lessons about process
• User perspective is difficult to capture• Hard to define success• Have to create an environment in which
people are comfortable talking about their failures
• Institutional analysis is lacking
