Climate Analysis

Clear customised climate analysis must be scientifically robust while remaining clear and usable for decision-makers. This requires strict alignment with IPCC best practice, including the use of appropriate timeframes, emissions scenarios, and model ensembles. Short-term climate variability and long-term climate change signals change must be treated honestly, without exaggeration in order to adequately develop adaptation options.

It is often challenging The balancing scientific rigour with clarity. Poorly validated models, uncorrected biases, and inconsistent baselines undermine credibility and can misrepresent climate impacts and change.

Clear practical outputs that speak to the local context and critical sectors are essential as these form the motivation for adaptation design and stakeholder buy in. Through our years of experience developing these climate rationales, we are still learning and adapting our methodology and outputs so they are more tangible to decision makers and stakeholders alike.
