Platform
The Climateurope2 platform ensures that good practices, guidelines, and capacity-building materials are widely available and easy to find during and after the project’s lifetime. The platform also has a community engagement component that allows audiences to reach consensus on the topics tackled by the project.
The Climateurope2 platform will offer three main capabilities: Co-create, Explore and Connect.
In terms of knowledge co-creation, the platform will have a community engagement component that will allow registered users to provide feedback on the documents shared with the community, contributing to their revision and improvement. The platform will trigger focused discussions with the wider expert community on climate services and the standardisation of their components. This will be done through the sharing of early versions of project documents, allowing registered users to collaborate and enable the co-production of knowledge, aligning with open science practices, thus accelerating the consensus process. The open sharing of results (offering different access levels for registered and non-registered users) will ensure the involvement of all relevant and interested actors, including the climate services community but also other actors and communities like citizens and the civil society with the final aim to try to build consensus.
The Climateurope2 platform will also provide an interactive and user-friendly collaborative repository where information about good practices, recommendations, vocabularies and standardisation processes for climate services will be shared. Platform visitors will be able to explore the available resources ensuring they are easily discoverable, ready to use, and easy to reference by the climate services community.
Finally, we aim that the platform will facilitate the connection among the members of the climate services network built and nurtured by Climateurope2.
