The meeting involved several academic, technical, operative and scientific institutions, all users of the climate information. Through and ethnographic approach, in a broad way, we will analyze the socio-cultural and institutional aspects involved in the production of climate information as well as the complexities and challenges that emerge in the provision of climate services.
