Building user-driven climate adaptation products

The article discusses the development of user-driven climate adaptation products, emphasizing the importance of involving end-users in the creation of climate services. It highlights research on demand-driven climate services, user-centered design approaches, and co-production methods to improve the usability and effectiveness of climate-related tools. Several academic references are provided, focusing on improving the relevance of climate data for practical applications.
