The document discusses co-developing climate services to build resilience to climate change. It argues that to be effective, climate information must be useful, usable, and developed with users so it increases their capacity to adapt. It presents a model for participatory climate services that engages farmers, pastoralists, and other vulnerable groups to collaboratively interpret forecasts and develop advisories. Key actors in the process include climate information providers, knowledge brokers who facilitate engagement between users and providers, and users themselves. The model aims to establish feedback loops so services continuously evolve to meet user needs.

The Climate Knowledge Brokers Manifesto - free full versionreeep
The Climate Knowledge Brokers Manifesto was developed in a collaborative process by the Climate Knowledge Brokers Group (CKB), involving interviews with 80 climate knowledge brokers and users of climate-related knowledge, and an editorial conference among the 17-strong author team. It sets out seven key principles for how climate knowledge brokers can have greater impact through collaboration and the use of open data and is a call for joint action to meet the massive climate knowledge challenges ahead The Manifesto (also available as a free pdf) includes an analysis of user needs, characteristics of the climate knowledge broker role in responding to those user needs, and how the CKB Group improves the effectiveness of climate knowledge brokering through collaboration.

Up the Ratios Bylaws - a Comprehensive Process of Our Organizationuptheratios
Up the Ratios is a non-profit organization dedicated to bridging the gap in STEM education for underprivileged students by providing free, high-quality learning opportunities in robotics and other STEM fields. Our mission is to empower the next generation of innovators, thinkers, and problem-solvers by offering a range of educational programs that foster curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking.
At Up the Ratios, we believe that every student, regardless of their socio-economic background, should have access to the tools and knowledge needed to succeed in today's technology-driven world. To achieve this, we host a variety of free classes, workshops, summer camps, and live lectures tailored to students from underserved communities. Our programs are designed to be engaging and hands-on, allowing students to explore the exciting world of robotics and STEM through practical, real-world applications.
Our free classes cover fundamental concepts in robotics, coding, and engineering, providing students with a strong foundation in these critical areas. Through our interactive workshops, students can dive deeper into specific topics, working on projects that challenge them to apply what they've learned and think creatively. Our summer camps offer an immersive experience where students can collaborate on larger projects, develop their teamwork skills, and gain confidence in their abilities.
In addition to our local programs, Up the Ratios is committed to making a global impact. We take donations of new and gently used robotics parts, which we then distribute to students and educational institutions in other countries. These donations help ensure that young learners worldwide have the resources they need to explore and excel in STEM fields. By supporting education in this way, we aim to nurture a global community of future leaders and innovators.
Our live lectures feature guest speakers from various STEM disciplines, including engineers, scientists, and industry professionals who share their knowledge and experiences with our students. These lectures provide valuable insights into potential career paths and inspire students to pursue their passions in STEM.
Up the Ratios relies on the generosity of donors and volunteers to continue our work. Contributions of time, expertise, and financial support are crucial to sustaining our programs and expanding our reach. Whether you're an individual passionate about education, a professional in the STEM field, or a company looking to give back to the community, there are many ways to get involved and make a difference.
We are proud of the positive impact we've had on the lives of countless students, many of whom have gone on to pursue higher education and careers in STEM. By providing these young minds with the tools and opportunities they need to succeed, we are not only changing their futures but also contributing to the advancement of technology and innovation on a broader scale.

Connectivity and co-development of climate services
1. Adaptation Learning Programme
ICPAC February 3rd 2017
Catalysing connectivity and multi-
solving climate challenges through co-
development of climate services
Fiona Percy
Maurine Ambani
ALP
ICCS5, 2017,
Cape Town
2. Why co-development? Resilience goal
Changing, unpredictable climatic patterns and extremes add a new layer
of risk and uncertainty which threatens to reverse development gains.
Adaptation is not simply moving to new technologies; resilience is not a
stable future state. A continuous process of adjustment and decision-
making in response to dynamic changes, understanding past and future
climate + uncertainty – and for this to be possible:
1
• Farmers and pastoralists themselves
make their own, informed decisions
• All people – including most
vulnerable – have capacity to
continuously contend with a range of
future climatic possibilities &
impacts. They
• Anticipate, absorb, adapt and
transform their livelihoods
• in relation to the changing climate and
other factors.
3. Users need information which:
Is useful and usable
Recognises the certainty of uncertainty in the future climate
Is high quality, reliable and adds value, explains probability and
levels of certainty
Increases trust and confidence
Is blended with local knowledge, relevant and localised
Enables more informed, anticipatory, precautionary and flexible
decisions - scenarios
Enables effective and timely risk management
Enables relevant decisions at different timescales and spatial scales
Helps to choose adapted livelihood options and reduce
vulnerability
Builds adaptive capacity for realising climate informed plans and
actions that are flexible to respond to climate and other dynamics
Is relevant to range of sectors and levels and gender
5. Participation in co-developing services
Multi stakeholder engagement is powerful:
• Co-designing for range of goals, interests, uses
• Linking to and combining knowledge sources (IK, ENACTS
maprooms, forecast probabilities)
• Local contextualisation and downscaling
• Consensus, trust and confidence building
• Collective interpretation
• Relevant advisories and plans
• Social learning – open dialogue, consensus, action
Tailoring for use and usability, feedback on gaps
Communication to diverse and non-science audience

6. Participatory Scenario Planning (PSP)
- County climate outlook forums
• Sub-national Multi-stakeholder
forum – meteorological services,
communities, government sectors,
NGOs, research, private sector etc.
• Share & combine seasonal
climate forecasts – local &
scientific sources.
• Review past season – relating to
local realities and context
• Collectively interpret seasonal forecast & probabilities into context
specific local livelihood & sector seasonal advisories.
• Advisories communicated to users through agreed local channels.
• Enable decision making and planning which responds to seasonal
climatic risk, uncertainty & opportunities.

12. Some reflections
Co-developing climate information products or climate services?
Institutionalising of co-development and multiple actor engagement?
Maintaining flexibility and dynamic evolution as climate changes,
science evolves and user demand grows. Climate services are still new –
Role of knowledge brokers becomes key, to:
• find and link users and providers – within steps in the chain and across
the full chain
• ensure feedback and learning loops,
• maintain multi-actor interaction,
• recognise new relations, options and responses,
• pay attention to trust and value in use of CS,
• ensure uncertainty as well as information is communicated
• ensure capacity (not limited to training) among actors
• enable scientists and NMHS to focus on science, and link to social
development actors to connect with users
• enable users to articulate and identify their needs together with
intermediaries and climate service providers
