Developing user-relevant regional climate change information Climate System Analysis Group University of Cape Town www.csag.uct.ac.za Developing user-relevant regional climate change information Bruce Hewitson A: Translate data to knowledge - Downscale to scales of relevance - Translate to variables of importance - Communicate context of opportunities and limitations - Develop appropriate metrics of confidence Knowledge Apathy or Resistance? Value Response Risk management Reducing vulnerability Win-win solutions Short term pain for long term gain Political pressures Economic constraints Fear of costs Saving face Analyze B: Translate awareness to action - Understand the users needs and context - Learn the users language and develop a dialogue - Help the user to answer their own questions Awareness Action Communicate/Share Dangerous? X Integrate Questionable foundations Possibility of mal-adaptation Knee-jerk responses Well-intentioned but misguided X C: Ask Is the information one conveys really credible, defensible, and actionable?
