{"product_id":"climate-in-context-isbn-9781118474792","title":"Climate in Context","description":"Society is increasingly affected by climate impacts, from prolonged water shortages to damaging coastal floods and wildfires. Scientists studying climate variations are eager to have their knowledge used in adaptive decision making. To achieve this, science and society must engage productively around complex management and policy challenges. For over 20 years, the science-society interface has been fertile ground for the Regional Integrated Sciences and Assessments (RISA) programs sponsored by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eClimate in Context\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/i\u003edescribes what it takes to help scientists and stakeholders work together to “co-produce” climate science knowledge, policy, and action. This state-of-the art synthesis reflects on lessons learned by RISA programs, and provides a sober assessment of the challenges ahead. Through case studies from various US regions, this book provides lessons and guidance for organizations and individuals who want to work at the science-society interface on a range of climate challenges. \u003cp\u003eList of contributors vii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eForeword xiii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface xix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments xxiii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBackground on RISA xxv\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSection I: Understanding context and risk\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Assessing needs and decision contexts: RISA approaches to engagement research 3\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eCaitlin F.
