model The article Structuring Climate Service Co-Creation Using a Business Model Approach , published in the journal Earth's Future, has been awarded the IV award de knowledge dissemination Científica José María Sarriegi, granted by the Observatorio de Catástrofes de la Fundación Aon España. The submission was held during the VII Symposium of the Observatory, which took place at the high school de la Ingeniería de España under the Honorary Presidency of His Majesty the King. Delivering the award wereIñigo Gutiérrez, Director of development of Tecnun, and Pedro Tomey, president of the Observatory, who expressed that "creating climate services is a great conceptual change for climate science", and added: "It is necessary to build new bridges of communication between the academic community and operational with the various actors in society".

Climate services are the result of the effort to translate the most cutting-edge scientific knowledge regarding the impacts of climate change into useful information for decision making by administrations and companies. The concept arises to alleviate the disconnection between science and society. Decision-making for the adaptation of our societies to future scenarios that are anticipated to be increasingly unfavorable must be based on the best scientific knowledge available . But this will be sterile if it does not reach administrations and companies.

The award award was collected by María Máñez Costa and Adrià Rubio Martín, two of the authors of the article, who thanked the award on behalf of their colleagues, Manuel Pulido Velázquez, Alberto García Prats, Louis Celliers, Ferrán Llario and Javier Macián. They commented that "this study explores, proposes and sample ways of partnership between the public and private sectors for the adaptation of strategic sectors, such as drinking water supply, to future climate change scenarios. It does so in order to encourage this subject of collaborations and reduce the distance that separates the scientific research on climate change from the decision making of administrations, companies and individuals".

The Jury, composed of representatives of the Disaster Observatory and Tecnun of the University of Navarra, has highly valued the contribution of this research, "which responds to a real need of society and innovatively uses a perspective of model business to involve the private sector in the creation of products that respond to their needs. This subject research is what allows us to move towards a more resilient society". Regarding the quality of the article, it has been published in the journal Earth's Future, which is ranked in the first decile in the category Geosciences, Multidisciplinary in the Journal Citation Report (JCR).
