On February 8th 2021, we hosted our first workshop with the members of our Multi-User Forum (MUF). This forum brings together representatives from public bodies and authorities, civil society organisations, businesses, financial organisations and academic institutions interested in climate information. Its aim is to enhance collaboration between these users of climate information and scientists to influence the design of the climate prediction system that EUCP is developing, and ensure it is as useful as possible. The goal of this workshop was to identify areas where we can further improve the information we produce. The event was successful in bringing 65 participants together, and their feedback was extremely useful in highlighting areas that would make climate information more useable.
Here are some insights we learned from users during the workshop:
- Most users have expressed that they would benefit from more guidance to select model information and trust it is the right one for their needs. With a large number of climate projections available, navigating them remains a challenge. Tools like model constraints or storylines can help with this, and it was agreed that a deeper collaboration between EUCP scientists and users would help to progress this further.
