The Readiness Toolkit aims to support countries to identify needs-tailored climate services, and evaluate their feasibility. It does so by guiding countries through understanding their current enabling environment, capacities, and data, evidence and information availability. It is a seven-step additive process to be followed at the national level with support from external experts.

Its main six outputs are:

  • An overview of existing policies in place to support the development of climate services;
  • An overview of existing capacities in place to support the development of climate services;
  • A summary of evidence of current climate risks and an inventory of existing climate and health data and information;
  • The identification of priority of climate information needs;
  • Definition of potential services to meet these needs;
  • A detailed feasibility evaluation of climate services.
