Abstract
This third issue of Institute of policy Studies (IPS) climate change magazine offers comprehensive coverage on issues and information gaps faced by vulnerable groups of farmers. Climate information products (CIPs) that assist vulnerable communities affected by climate change are critical for policy research. To address community vulnerability, the IPS developed a partnership with the Department of Meteorology of Sri Lanka (DOM) and Janathakshan Gte Ltd. to implement an action research programme to pilot test models of ‘Integrated Climate Information Management Systems’ (ICIMS). ‘Climate Change Issues in Sri Lanka’ is an IPS publication based on blog articles published in CLIMATEnet.
