Climate change is one of the defining issues of the 21st century, with the climate becoming more variable and severe weather events such as floods, droughts and extreme heat occurring more frequently. Adaptation to climate change requires climate smart decisions foster resilience to the future climate.
I-CISK’s ambition to innovate how climate information is used, interpreted and acted on through a next-generation of Climate Services that follow a human centred, social and behaviourally informed approach; integrating the knowledges, needs and perceptions of climate information.
In I-CISK we take an action research approach to fast-track research to impacts by co-developing a framework for human centred climate services in and with the users of seven Living Labs in Europe and Africa. Each living lab is located in a climate change hotspot with specific geographical and climatic settings, and with a focus on key socio-economic sectors.

During a recent intensive sprint phase, the I-CISK team provided detailed feedback and the technology partners modified and updated most of the Climate Services (CS) for the Living Labs. This latest version also reflects suggestions made by the end users.
In February 2025, a collaborating team from EMVIS (LL leader and knowledge purveyor), Dr. Charles Wamucii (early career scientist of the I-CISK programme), and stakeholders from the Crete Living Lab worked together on the implementation of a socio-environmental model for
Several members of the I-CISK consortium will attend the European Geosciences Union 2025 in Vienna from April 28th to May 2nd. Climate services (CS) practitioners and researchers (including Early Career Researchers) presented their contributions across diverse topics. Enhancing the usefulness
