Knowledge Management as an enabler of co-production, uptake and use of climate information services

Taking the right measures to strengthen knowledge management is a critical part of ensuring that climate information is captured, tailored and disseminated to users that need it.

KEY POINTS

• Africa needs climate information services to understand how climate change will impact the lives and livelihoods of its people, and support wider development.
• Robust management of climate-related knowledge is intrinsically linked to the uptake and use of climate information services for decision making.
• Climate-related knowledge is often not sufficiently captured and shared. This is a major missed opportunity to make the best use of emerging knowledge for developing best practices.•The African Climate Policy Centre and partners are taking a multi-pronged approach to harness the rich knowledge, lessons and practices resulting from climate information services initiatives.
