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

#ImpactCanada's latest research reveals social misperceptions impacting policy support, misinformation, & public health.
@FindlaterKM is showcasing our work at @ibppa's 3rd International Behavioural Public Policy Conference!
🔎 The 3rd International Behavioural Public Policy Conference hosted by @ibppa is happening! @FindlaterKM and other experts will discuss the gap between climate concerns and individual actions, and share promising behaviourally-informed approaches and lessons at the conference.
A generation ago, Samuel Hays argued that "Beauty, Health, and Permanence" were the enduring movers of "Environmental Politics in the United States" https://t.co/XNbMaolb04. 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.”
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

Framing interventions as protecting ecosystem integrity rather than commercial value can get > public support, argue @FindlaterKM etal @SES_UBC in "Difficult climate-adaptive decisions in forests as complex social–ecological systems," reinforcing. (1/2) https://t.co/cWGhuSQ77e
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: https://t.co/XsSRu46PGD
“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: https://t.co/O6lpYEKEku
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
Science has never been more important for informing & shaping our responses to the global #watercrises, comments @LucyRodina. Hear more insights from other experts on how can science inform & address inequalities https://t.co/273dyt4fzf

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.”
