A living lab is a process of engaging stakeholders to suggest innovative and feasible solutions. It consists of two parts: co-creation and experiments. Co-creation aims to derive practical and workable solutions through interactions of users with a diversity of ideas and perspectives. This is essential to accelerate innovation, reduce risk, and increase collaboration and trust between stakeholders. However, the process of co-creation has rarely been examined. This study aims to suggest a co-creation process, using a case study of disaster alert messages for climate adaptation. As the frequency and intensity of climate-related crises increase, early warning systems are emerging as an effective tool for climate adaptation. The objective of risk messages is to enhance risk awareness and actual behaviors. However, current climate disaster messages have limitations such as standard formats, character limits, and vague action guidelines. To fill these gaps, this study developed a living lab co-creation process for bespoke climate disaster text messages. The living lab co-creation method was applied to generate climate disaster text messages through the interactions of stakeholders (i.e., government, citizen recipients, relevant experts, etc.) and researchers. Three steps of living lab co-creation were conducted to gather perceptions of heat wave, heavy rain, drought, and heavy snow, and opinions on the existing contextual messages, to create climate disaster text messages. The initial living lab was conducted with the inclusion of citizens, followed by the second, which incorporated citizens and relevant experts. The third living lab consisted of co-creation in writing with citizens and experts, with researcher intervention. This resulted in the development of co-creation methods through living lab. In addition, prototypes of messages were then co-created for each disaster context. The messages were designed to be more specific and elicit immediate responses and behaviors, and strategies to improve the credibility of the message. Furthermore, it suggested extending the scope of the message across pictograms, links, and other functions. In conclusion, a living lab method for co-creation is proposed, and the implications for future climate disaster text messages and risk communication are discussed.
