Sumario:At the present time, social awareness about climate issues has resulted in a greater demand to the scientific and operational sectors for “climate services,” that is, the timely meteorological and climate information in sufficient quantity and quality to assist decision making process of a wide array of climate sensitive sectors. Addressing this complexity transcends disciplinary issues, making it essential to examine the "human dimensions" of the production, circulation and use of climate information. Based on an interdisciplinary and intersectoral project on climate services and the survey of anthropological and specialized literature on the subject, our aim is to identify the main contributions of anthropology to the understanding of these processes. At the same time, we identify how monitoring and joint and systematic reflection on knowledge production practices are key to strengthening a broader and participatory science.
