Climate services promise better decisions but mainly focus on better data
Our new @NatureClimate paper finds that norms and institutions of science limit climate ‘services’ as a transformation of climate science

A generation ago, Samuel Hays argued that "Beauty, Health, and Permanence" were the enduring movers of "Environmental Politics in the United States" cup.org/340cti2. This research echoes Hays, cautions against too much reliance on trend to $ value of ecosystem services:

Interesting looking paper on forest management perceptions and Assisted Migration.
“These results are further evidence of the inherent risk in privileging natural science above other forms of knowledge at the science–policy interface.”

New paper alert! #UBCForestry’s @FindlaterKM, @SES_UBC & Rob Kozak explore the “Difficult climate-adaptive decisions in forests as complex social-ecological systems” in their latest article @PNASNews. Read more: bit.ly/3nFvttc

Adapting is not enough – climate-adaptive decisions as technical choices erase values, norms, ethics and fundamental goals.
Our @PNASNews paper shows the inherent risk in privileging natural science at the science–policy interface

“A narrow understanding of maladaptation is harmful because it may overlook the more fundamental reasons that we adapt to climate change,” states #UBCForestry’s Rob Kozak, @SES_UBC, @veronikagukova & @ubcires’ @FindlaterKM. Read their latest article here: bit.ly/3oXRC5t

Climate change adaptation 'gone wrong' is about much more than climate.
Happy to announce our new paper in People and Nature: “Redefining climate change maladaptation using a values-based approach in forests”

In a new paper, @FindlaterKM & @SES_UBC broaden the idea of maladaptation in social-ecological systems like forests to account for the non-climate values adaptation seeks to protect and enhance. @UBCforestry

I’m excited to be joining the Impact and Innovation Unit of the Privy Council Office! As a senior policy advisor I will help advance evidence-based and results-driven climate policies (both mitigation and adaptation) across the Canadian federal government

💬Expert interviews suggest that the norms, structures and institutions of climate science limit climate services to nominal changes where transformations are promised.

Great writeup by @daly_meaghan on our @NatureClimate paper about the promise & practice of climate services: “Fulfilling that promise will require rethinking the norms, institutions and governance of science itself.”
