Recommendations for producing knowledge syntheses to inform climate change assessments - Nature Climate Change
Climate change assessment reports are increasing in complexity as the knowledge base grows exponentially. In this Perspective, the authors advocate, and provide recommendations, for knowledge synthesis to become more common as a way to better inform such assessments.
