社会可以从有用的气候信息中受益，以便更好地准备和适应气候变异性和变化带来的风险和机会。充分和有效地提供气候信息-从历史观测到季节预报，以及多年气候变化预测-对于气候敏感部门的规划和决策至关重要。这方面的核心是气候信息的最终用户，以及越来越强调根据用户需求定制的气候信息和服务。然而，欧洲各经济部门对气候信息使用的了解有限。本文件根据一项在线调查（n = 462）和对气候信息（潜在）用户的访谈（n = 80），确定了包括农业、林业、能源、水、旅游、保险、卫生、应急服务和运输部门在内的若干部门的部门信息要求范围。这一分析揭示了跨部门的共同机会，包括十年期气候预测的潜在应用。此外，还注意到在获取气候信息方面的共同障碍和促进因素，包括所提供信息的格式、与现有内部系统兼容的必要性，以及对信息提供者的可信度和信任度的看法。这一分析还指出，可获得的信息越来越分散，终端用户希望有一个能够集中和协调气候数据的欧洲机构。我们强调了目前仍需充分解决的一些因素，以加强欧洲经济部门决策中对气候信息的吸收和应用。
Society can benefit from usable climate information to better prepare and adapt to the risks and opportunities posed by climate variability and change. An adequate and effective provision of climate information – from historical observations through to seasonal forecasts, and multi-decadal climate change projections – is critical to inform planning and decision-making in climate-sensitive sectors. Central to this are the end-users of climate information and a growing emphasis on tailored climate information and services shaped by user needs. However, knowledge about the use of climate information across European economic sectors is limited. This paper identifies the spectrum of sectoral information requirements across a number of sectors including agriculture, forestry, energy, water, tourism, insurance, health, emergency services and transport sectors, drawing from an online survey (n = 462) and interviews with (potential) users of climate information (n = 80). This analysis reveals shared opportunities across sectors including the potential application of decadal climate predictions. In addition, common barriers and enablers to the uptake of climate information were also noted including the format of the information provided, the need for compatibility with existing in-house systems, and the perceived credibility and trust of information providers. This analysis also points towards a perceived increasing fragmentation of available information and the desire amongst end-users for a European body able to centralise and coordinate climate data. We highlight some of the current factors that still need to be adequately addressed in order to enhance the uptake and application of climate information in decision-making across European economic sectors.
