Research project
Role of Purveyors in Delivering Climate Services in the UK (REVEAL)
- Start date: 1 October 2024
- End date: 31 March 2025
- Funder: Defra
- Value: £75,000
- Primary investigator: Dr Marta Bruno Soares
- Co-investigators: Dr Peter Walton
The REVEAL project aims to understand how climate service purveyors in the UK use UKCP and other climate data, their relationships with both producers and users, and emerging climate information needs. By purveyors, we mean organisations beyond government bodies that enhance or add value to UKCP climate information based on users' needs. While public sector engagement with UKCP has been explored, there is less focus on the private and third sectors. Understanding these organisations, the information they use, and their operations is crucial given their growing involvement in climate-related efforts in the UK.
