'''Climate services involve providing climate information to assist decision-making, for example, about how extreme rainfall will change to inform improvements in urban drainage. Since AR5, there has been a significant increase in the range and diversity of climate service activities (''very'' ''high confidence''). The level of user-engagement, co-design and co-production are factors determining the utility of climate services, while resource limitations for these activities constrain their full potential.

Climate services include engagement from users and providers and an effective access mechanism; they are responsive to user needs and based on integrating scientifically credible information and relevant expertise. Climate services are being developed across regions, sectors, time scales and user-groups and include a range of knowledge brokerage and integration activities. These involve identifying knowledge needs; compiling, translating and disseminating knowledge; coordinating networks and building capacity through informed decision-making; analysis, evaluation and development of policy; and personal consultation.

Since AR5, climate change information produced in climate service contexts has increased significantly due to scientific and technological advancements and growing user awareness, requirements and demand (''very'' ''high confidence''). Climate services are growing rapidly and are highly diverse in their practices and products. The decision-making context, level of user engagement and co-production between scientists, practitioners and intended users are important determinants of the type of climate service developed and their utility for supporting adaptation, mitigation and risk management decisions. They require different types of user–producer engagement depending on what the service aims to deliver (''high confidence''), and these fall into three broad categories: website-based services, interactive group activities and focused relationships ''.''

Realization of the full potential of climate services is often hindered by limited resources for the co-design and co-production process, including sustained engagement between scientists, service providers and users (''high confidence''). Further challenges relate to the development and provision of climate services, generation of climate service products, communication with users, and evaluation of their quality and socio-economic benefit.
