I-CISK is funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 program as part of the European Green Deal, which aims to deliver tailored climate services (CS) in a trustworthy, understandable, replicable and effective way. As part of the project, we’re tackling climate challenges head-on in seven different regions across Europe and Africa. Each region presents its own unique climate hurdles that require tailored solutions. Here, we highlight our people-centered approach that emphasizes co-design, co-creation, co-implementation and co-evaluation across key sectors vulnerable to climate change. Our goal is to create tailored solutions that truly work for citizens, stakeholders and decision-makers.
