Climate Services

Aims & Scope

The journal Climate Services publishes research with a focus on science-based and user-specific climate information underpinning climate services, ultimately to assist society to adapt to climate change.

Climate Services brings science and practice closer together.

The journal addresses both researchers in the field of climate service research, and stakeholders and practitioners interested in or already applying climate services.

It serves as a means of communication, dialogue and exchange between researchers and stakeholders.

Climate services pioneers novel research areas that directly refer to how climate information can be applied in methodologies and tools for adaptation to climate change.

It publishes best practice examples, case studies as well as theories, methods and data analysis with a clear connection to climate services.

The focus of the published work is often multi-disciplinary, case-specific, tailored to specific sectors and strongly application-oriented.

To offer a suitable outlet for such studies, Climate Services journal introduced a new section in the research article type.

The research article contains a classical scientific part as well as a section with easily understandable practical implications for policy makers and practitioners.

The journal's focus is on the use and usability of climate information for adaptation purposes underpinning climate services.
