Climate services is an emerging area of climate science meant to provide "scientifically-based information and products that enhance users' knowledge and understanding about the impacts of climate on their decisions and actions." Achieving this aim requires scientists be responsive to the needs, value systems and decision frameworks of users. What this responsiveness might involve in practice, however, has not been articulated in detail. We investigate how scientists might meet this requirement through an examination of the products of climate services, and in particular, specify whose values should be appealed to during the provision of climate information.
