Your elev<strong>at</strong>or pitch<br />
Imagine scientists, with her <strong>and</strong> his, butterfly net. Yet these are not butterflies she <strong>and</strong> he<br />
are after. They are (gracefully) hunting down clim<strong>at</strong>e-centred narr<strong>at</strong>ives – as elusive <strong>and</strong><br />
beautiful as the rarest of butterflies. And no, he <strong>and</strong> she will NOT pin them down. They will<br />
look <strong>at</strong> them as they deploy, live, change, <strong>and</strong> exist. By observing these, with the help of an<br />
intern<strong>at</strong>ional interdisciplinary team, they will identify the fabric of local communities’<br />
we<strong>at</strong>herworlds. And from these we<strong>at</strong>herworlds they will infer the needs for clim<strong>at</strong>e<br />
services – current <strong>and</strong> future. This is wh<strong>at</strong> CoCliServ is about.<br />
CoCliServ explores novel ways to transform clim<strong>at</strong>e science into action-oriented placebased<br />
clim<strong>at</strong>e services to engage, enable <strong>and</strong> empower local communities, knowledge<br />
brokers <strong>and</strong> scientists to act locally. It seeks to identify future inform<strong>at</strong>ion needs <strong>and</strong> the<br />
n<strong>at</strong>ure of the clim<strong>at</strong>e science needed to address the local communities’ concerns,<br />
aspir<strong>at</strong>ions <strong>and</strong> goals in view of clim<strong>at</strong>e variability <strong>and</strong> clim<strong>at</strong>e change. Its approach is<br />
grounded into narr<strong>at</strong>ives, vision-based scenarios, local community leadership, th<strong>at</strong> will all<br />
be mobilized to enable the identific<strong>at</strong>ion of current AND future knowledge needs. The<br />
project will experiment with art–science–policy integr<strong>at</strong>ion in the case studies. CoCliServ<br />
takes system<strong>at</strong>ic critical reflection on knowledge quality as the central activity in interfacing<br />
clim<strong>at</strong>e science <strong>and</strong> local governance.<br />
