However, they share the following common elements: '(i) they involve provision of climate information for some form of decision-making, including policy-making, be it to support adaptation, mitigation, or disaster risk management; (ii) they are driven by the needs of users, including decision-makers, indicated by terminology such as useful, of value, customised, tailored, co-developed or co-produced; and (iii) they involve dissemination or guidance for the use of science-based climate information. Such information could include climate data or knowledge based on climate data.' (Bessembinder et al., 2019).\n\nClimate services can also be used together with 'weather services' - which describe the state of the atmosphere at a given place and time. However, they differ in that climate services convey information about average weather. 'Climate services are also distinct from climate research and observations: the former focuses on serving user needs while the latter aims to further our understanding of the climate system.' (Vaughan and Dessai, 2014)."]},"narrower":[{"id":"http://connectivity-hub.com/terms/10d543d7-6b7d-41ef-a291-dcace50791fa","prefLabel":{"en":"Climate service providers"}},{"id":"http://connectivity-hub.com/terms/3ba4db71-12d1-4b70-9b73-ecb5f305451c","prefLabel":{"en":"Climate service users"}}],"broader":{"id":"http://connectivity-hub.com/terms/4b7d4597-dbc1-4011-8a93-d53e66cc8882","prefLabel":{"en":"Knowledge and capacity"}},"related":[{"id":"http://connectivity-hub.com/terms/5e54dd75-11b2-4f12-a502-659267c332da","prefLabel":{"en":"Climate projection"}},{"id":"http://connectivity-hub.com/terms/b130c6b9-d85b-4dee-aae3-3ccfadf2eb80","prefLabel":{"en":"Decision makers"}},{"id":"http://connectivity-hub.com/terms/93760f9d-6a41-44c5-9987-95011edb9aa8","prefLabel":{"en":"Climate information"}}],"inScheme":[{"id":"http://connectivity-hub.com/terms/","title":{"en":"Climate Connectivity Taxonomy"}}],"inSchemeAll":[{"id":"http://connectivity-hub.com/terms/"}],"@context":{"@version":1.1,"id":"@id","type":"@type","@vocab":"http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/core#","xsd":"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#","dct":"http://purl.org/dc/terms/","dc":"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/","schema":"https://schema.org/","vann":"http://purl.org/vocab/vann/","ldp":"http://www.w3.org/ns/ldp#","owl":"http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#","title":{"@id":"dct:title","@container":"@language"},"dc:title":{"@id":"dc:title","@container":"@language"},"dc:description":{"@id":"dc:description","@container":"@language"},"description":{"@id":"dct:description","@container":"@language"},"license":{"@id":"dct:license","@container":"@language"},"issued":{"@id":"dct:issued","@type":"xsd:date"},"created":{"@id":"dct:created","@type":"xsd:date"},"modified":{"@id":"dct:modified","@type":"xsd:date"},"creator":"dct:creator","publisher":"dct:publisher","preferredNamespacePrefix":"vann:preferredNamespacePrefix","preferredNamespaceUri":"vann:preferredNamespaceUri","isBasedOn":"schema:isBasedOn","source":"dct:source","prefLabel":{"@container":"@language"},"altLabel":{"@container":["@language","@set"]},"hiddenLabel":{"@container":["@language","@set"]},"definition":{"@container":"@language"},"note":{"@container":["@language","@set"]},"changeNote":{"@container":["@language","@set"]},"editorialNote":{"@container":["@language","@set"]},"historyNote":{"@container":["@language","@set"]},"scopeNote":{"@container":["@language","@set"]},"notation":{"@container":"@set"},"example":{"@container":"@language"},"narrower":{"@container":"@set"},"related":{"@container":"@set"},"relatedMatch":{"@container":"@set"},"narrowerTransitive":{"@container":"@set"},"broaderTransitive":{"@container":"@set"},"broadMatch":{"@container":"@set"},"narrowMatch":{"@container":"@set"},"closeMatch":{"@container":"@set"},"exactMatch":{"@container":"@set"},"hasTopConcept":{"@container":"@set"},"inScheme":{"@container":"@set"},"topConceptOf":{"@container":"@set"},"deprecated":{"@id":"owl:deprecated","@type":"xsd:boolean"},"isReplacedBy":{"@id":"dct:isReplacedBy","@container":"@set"}}}
