Climate-Informed Planning and Development of DSS

A climate-informed planning and decision support system designed to support long-term development planning, infrastructure design, and policy-making by integrating climate projections and risk information into scenario-based planning processes

Note: Focus on medium- to long-term planning horizons

Link To DSS: https://clima-planned.rimes.int/

Stage Of Maturity: Operational, Continuously evolving

Coverage: National (Pakistan)

Climate Timescales Covered: Decadal, Interannual, Long-term / Climate Change Projections, Seasonal

Strengths

Strong focus on long-term, climate-informed planning
Integrates climate projections into decision-making processes
Supports scenario-based analysis and adaptation planning
Bridges gap between climate science and development planning
Enables risk-informed investment and infrastructure design

Weaknesses

Requires technical expertise to interpret projections and scenarios
Dependent on quality and resolution of climate projection data
May require customization for sector-specific applications
Limited direct linkage to short-term operational decision-making
Access typically restricted to institutional users

Synergies

Uses climate projections from CORDEX South Asia, Copernicus CDS, and the IPCC Interactive Atlas.
Supported by climate analytics from Climate Impact Explorer, KNMI Climate Explorer, and Climpact.
Can integrate sectoral climate risk information from PRISM Analytics Platform and national DSSs.
Complements operational systems such as SMART and SATARK by supporting long-term climate adaptation planning.
