Is sufficient knowledge available to decision-makers for them to make properly informed choices to meet climate policy goals?
Are current research programmes adequately addressing the gaps in policy-relevant knowledge?Does international collaboration enhance project quality and relevance, or does it make research more complicated?
Are current or planned research budget sufficient to meet society’s demands?
