A systematic review of peer-reviewed literature to assess constraining
and enabling
factors to the uptake of medium- to long-term climate information in a
wide range of sectoral
investment and planning decisions.
Common applications of climate information are shown to relate to adaptation of environmental policy and planning, urban planning and infrastructure, as well as flood and coastal management.
Five categories of enablers are identified, the most of frequent of which relates to greater collaboration and bridging between producers and users of climate information. Five categories of constraints are also identified, the largest comprising of scientific and technical limitations associated with available medium- to long-term climate information.
