Funders/Donors can help institutions to learn to work together. Make funds available for collaborative work instead of different institutions competing to get the funds to work alone. ⁦@ICCS_6⁩ #climateservices2020

[Aneta Nikolova @AnetkaNik]

@ICCS_6 Director Filipe Lucio highlighted how much the good practice of climate services has grown and pointed to the need to further grow the vibrant community of practice. It will create more incentives to work together. #climateservices2020

[Aneta Nikolova @AnetkaNik]

"Climate Services Information is more important than ever now." Said Ana Bucher from the Wotld Bank. "It will help us to understand subsectors for more effective climate action." @ICCS_6 #climateservices2020

[ICCS6 @ICCS_6]

Thought-provoking presentation by Anna Steynor on challenges in North-South Co-production such as power relationships(funding & knowledge hierarchies)."We need to prioritise listening, recognise cultural contexts, secure adequate resources for all partners." #climateservices2020

[World Meteorological Organization @WMO]

Climate services are key for decision-making in sectors like agriculture, disaster management and health.

“The need for climate services will keep increasing as people take action to deal with climate variability and change,” our technical support head Filipe Lucio tells @ICCS_6

[ICCS6 @ICCS_6]

"The South often don’t get a say in what the funding priorities are.” Anna Steynor (U/Cape Town) points out the funding hierarchies inherent in climate services now. “It makes it really hard to form equitable relationships.” #climateservices2020

[ICCS6 @ICCS_6]

Improving Practice in Climate Services is up next, with Anna Steynor (U/Cape Town) and @DrGIScience (@CGIAR). #climateservices2020

[ICCS6 @ICCS_6]

"For climate services to be successful, there still needs to be emphasis on user perspectives." David Corbelli (@MetOffice_Sci) gives his comments during the introduction to Day 3 at @ICCS_6 #climateservices2020
