The Standardisation Framework supports a common understanding of the steps required to mature a suite of diverse standards for climate services. The Framework provides a decision tree to enable the identification of requirements and recommendations for Standards Bodies, helping to identify where standardisation can add value, where gaps remain, and which alternative approaches may be more appropriate. Through decision-making tools, commonly defined climate service components and supporting templates, the Framework assesses the maturity and suitability of different components for standardisation, identify existing gaps, and inform recommendations for improving the quality, saliency, credibility and legitimacy of climate services.
