Community-level climate change vulnerability research: trends, progress, and future directions (2016, background): “…science; attention to coupled human–environmental system dynamics; and a focus on both present day and future vulnerabilities (e.g. Ford and Smit 2004, Fussel and Klein 2006, Smit and Wandel 2006, O’Brien et al 2007, Ford et al 2010, HaalboomandNatcher 2012, Lemos et al 2012, Tschakert et al 2014).”
Food and Earth Systems: Priorities for Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation for Agriculture and Food Systems (2019, background): “The literature also highlights widespread gaps between farmers’ information needs and the information and services that are routinely available [51,55].”
Moving Toward the Deliberate Co-Production of Climate Science Knowledge (2015, methodology): “…is easier to integrate with existing information because it fits into the decision framework of the agency or organization (Carbone and Dow 2005; Lemos et al. 2012); and the end users gain a greater sense of ownership over the final product because they have contributed to it (Robinson and…”
Potential applications of subseasonal‐to‐seasonal (S2S) predictions (2017, background): “It has been shown that an interactive, co-production approach to science and decision-making between information producers and users positively affects the rate of information use (e.g. Lemos and Morehouse, 2005; Feldman and Ingram, 2009; Lemos et al., 2012) as well as the effective communication of”
Farmers’ perception of climate change in mediterranean Chile (2015, background): “Descriptive evidence supporting this perception for Asia is provided by Piya et al. (2013); Halder et al.”
The Right Stuff? Informing Adaptation to Climate Change in British Local Government (2015, neutral): “2013), and from demand-side failures by policy-makers to understand the science or to specify what would be useful and thus what actually gets used to inform adaptation (Dilling & Lemos 2011; Lemos et al. 2012).”
Forecasting vegetation condition for drought early warning systems in pastoral communities in Kenya (2019, background): “Often, new forecast information developed by scientists to help the development and humanitarian sectors enhance disaster preparedness and response goes unused due to a “usability gap” between knowledge producers and users [50].”
