 The importance of climate services and climate change literacy for more transformative responses to climate change in Africa adapted from Simpson et al. . Climate services promote climate resilient development by providing climate information for adaptation decision making . Scalable uptake of climate services relies partly on climate risk perception of users, which is largely driven in Africa by experience and perception of local climate changes . Perception of climate change can occur without knowledge of its human-induced causes and its effects . This can lead to coping responses to climate change which fall short of adaptation. Climate change literacy encompasses being aware of climate change and its anthropogenic causes and, together with climate services, can strengthen responses to climate change through better understanding of future risk .
