Sweden has recently begun to address climate change adaptation in policy and implementation processes. However, there are few mechanisms in place to advance the use of scientific and practical knowledge for adaptation, or to stimulate learning and collaboration across stakeholder groups, sectors and scales.
Our research explores how science can help Swedish stakeholders to assess adaptation needs and options. In our research, meetings between scientists and stakeholders revealed a positive attitude to using scientific knowledge in adaptation decision-making.
The study suggests that, to support decision-making, there is a need for scientific results (notably climate change and impact scenarios) to be presented in a more user-friendly fashion, as well as for greater informal interaction between scientists, practitioners and policymakers.
In particular, there is a need for results to show shorter time horizons, provide clear graphics, and offer more locally relevant information.
