Is population growth a threat to agriculture? Perceptions in rural Kenya
Usability of Seasonal Climate Forecasts in the Guatemalan Dry Corridor
Climate services, including seasonal climate forecasts, have been promoted to foster proactive risk management and adaptation to climate variability and change across multiple sectors of society. In smallholder farming and rain-fed systems, where climate variability has an important influence on crop production and food security, information from seasonal climate forecasts has the potential to support and enhance agricultural decision-making. Her…
Humanitarian assistance and its expected behavior and land use changes
Disasters routinely lead to acute impacts and prolonged suffering around the globe. Humanitarian programming (HP) provides short-term aid to communities and nations alleviating hardship. Traditionally, and more conspicuously, the focus of the HP interventions has been on providing immediate relief and support in the aftermath of extreme social and environmental events. However, HP often involves layered interventions that not only address immedia…
Heat Risk Perception and Vulnerability in Puerto Rico
Extreme heat poses growing health risks in tropical regions, yet public perception of this threat remains understudied in the Caribbean. This study examines how residents in Puerto Rico perceived heat-related health risks and how these perceptions relate to vulnerability and protective behaviors during the extreme heat events of the summer of 2020. We conducted a cross-sectional telephone survey of 500 adults across metropolitan and non-metropoli…

Smallholder farmers' use of mobile phone services in central Kenya
Information and services delivered through mobile phones, 'm-services', have transformative potential to provide rural African farmers with important agro-meteorological information. However, a greater understanding is needed regarding the types of m-services available to farmers, how farmers access that information, and possible factors affecting m-service use. With a study of smallholder farming communities in central Kenya, we examine factors …
Reorienting climate decision making research for smallholder farming systems through decision science
Cultivating Crisis
Since September 2012, the Jamaican coffee industry has been grappling with the coffee leaf rust (CLR) epidemic caused by the fungal pathogen Hemileia vastatrix. The first widespread outbreak affected more than one third of coffee plants across the island, resulting in millions of dollars in lost revenues for the sector. The emergence and spread of the disease have been linked to a confluence of factors ranging from changing climatic conditions to…
Barriers to urban agriculture in Sub-Saharan Africa
Trends in urbanization and urban food insecurity in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) have stimulated critical debates around the potential benefits of urban agriculture (UA) to urban livelihoods. Some scholars suggest that UA can contribute to the food quantity, food quality and income needs of urban households. However, much of the evidence cited comes from single case studies, with particular attention paid to large cities and high-income countries. Th…

Building a Framework for Process-Oriented Evaluation of Regional Climate Outlook Forums
In many regions around the world, Regional Climate Outlook Forums (RCOFs) provide seasonal climate information and forecasts to decision-makers at regional and national levels. Despite having two decades of experience, the forums have not been systematically monitored or evaluated. To address this gap, and to better inform nascent and widespread efforts in climate services, the authors propose a process-oriented evaluation framework derived from …
Connecting Climate Information Producers and Users
Boundary organizations, knowledge networks, and information brokers have been suggested as mechanisms that help integrate information into decision-making and enhance interactions between the producers and users of climate information. While these mechanisms have been discussed in many studies in disparate fields of research, there has been little empirical research describing how they relate and support each other within studies on climate servi…
Moving toward the Deliberate Coproduction of Climate Science Knowledge
Coproduction of knowledge is believed to be an effective way to produce usable climate science knowledge through a process of collaboration between scientists and decision makers. While the general principles of coproduction—establishing long-term relationships between scientists and stakeholders, ensuring two-way communication between both groups, and keeping the focus on the production of usable science—are well understood, the mechanisms for a…
Informing Decisions with a Climate Synthesis Product
The demand for regional climate information is increasing and spurring efforts to provide a broad slate of climate services that inform policy and resource management and elevate general knowledge. Routine syntheses of existing climate-related information may be an effective strategy for connecting climate information to decision making, but few studies have formally assessed their contribution to informing decisions. During the 2010–11 winter, d…
