Towards the development of climate adaptation knowledge-action systems in the European Union: An institutional approach to climate service analysis

Six years have passed since the European Commission published its Roadmap for Climate Services (2015). Nowadays, this domain is characterized by a complex constellation of different products, services, and actors. Indeed, the definitions of climate services adopted by the WMO and the European Union...
