Bridge science and decision-making
SAGE engages with key stakeholders in agriculture, health, energy, and disaster risk reduction to bridge the gap between science and decision-making.
SAGE is dedicated to enhancing the real-world impact of sub-seasonal to seasonal forecasts by improving their usability, reliability, and accessibility.
By fostering interdisciplinary collaboration between scientists, forecasters, and decision-makers, SAGE translates cutting-edge research into practical applications that support climate-sensitive sectors.
SAGE focuses on making forecast information more usable for practical planning, response, and decision-making contexts.
SAGE engages with key stakeholders in agriculture, health, energy, and disaster risk reduction to bridge the gap between science and decision-making.
SAGE works to improve forecast skill and uncertainty quantification, ensuring that users can make informed choices with confidence.
SAGE develops user-focused tools and guidance, enabling effective integration of S2S forecasts into planning and response strategies.
SAGE strengthens capacity-building efforts, equipping professionals with the knowledge and resources needed to leverage S2S forecasts effectively.
The overall work of SAGE is delivered by activities led by the Steering Group and through engagement with the wider community. Task Teams support the Steering Group and connect project activities with research, users, and application needs.
Applications Task Teams coordinate SAGE activities within priority applications, including developing collaborations with users and organising sector reviews and surveys.
The Predictability Task Team coordinates work on forecast skill and uncertainty and works with Applications Task Teams on methods for incorporating forecast information into decision-making.
Task Teams report regularly to the Steering Group so that activities can learn from each other during the project.
SAGE operates through dedicated Task Teams that engage with stakeholders to co-develop solutions and foster innovation. The main task teams include Agriculture, Health, Disaster Risk Reduction, Energy, and Predictability.
