  abstract = {{F}acing increasing risks from climate change, governments at all levels have started to mainstream the use of climate information. {I}t has been widely acknowledged that the inclusion of stakeholder knowledge and needs, for example, in a co-design and co-production process, is important for producing user-relevant information. {H}ere we start from a hypothetical example and two real-world case studies from {S}outh {A}merica and {W}est {A}frica to discuss the role of user values, power relationships and language in the construction of climate information. {W}hile these aspects have been discussed individually in several papers, we focus on the mutual influences of these aspects in the information construction and argue that, therefore, they cannot be considered separately. {W}e identify five dimensions-the level of risk, the complexity of the scientific problem, user values, power relationships and language-to characterize the complexity of a given user context. {A}nalyzing these dimensions can guide the choice and design of user engagement in a given situation. {I}n particular, even basic research may benefit from such an engagement. {R}egularly accounting for these aspects in research projects may require substantial changes in the way research funding is organized and how the work of researchers is rewarded.},
