| Sumario: | We apply a systematic review of peer-reviewed literature to assess constraining and enabling
factors to the uptake of medium- to long-term climate information in a wide range of sectoral
investment and planning decisions. Common applications of climate information are shown to
relate to adaptation of environmental policy and planning, urban planning and infrastructure,
as well as flood and coastal management. Analysis of identified literature highlights five
categories of enablers to the uptake of medium- to long-term climate information in decision-making, the most of frequent of which relates to greater collaboration and bridging between producers and users of climate information. Five categories of constraints are also identified, the largest comprising of scientific and technical limitations associated with available
medium- to long-term climate information.
