To characterize the supply and demand of climate information and improve how climate information is accessed and used in a variety of U.S. sectors, AGCI interviewed and surveyed more than 400 coastal managers, heat practitioners, transportation planners, and practitioners who rely on climate information to inform and support the decisions and actions their work entails. This report synthesizes the insights from our research across sectors and institutional settings, drawing on both literature and lived experience to consider how decision support and climate services can be further refined.
