Improving stakeholder engagement in climate change risk assessments: insights from six co-production initiatives in Europe | SEI

The research examines the role of knowledge co-production between scientists and stakeholders in climate risk assessments, specifically using the impact chain method. It argues that conventional research often fails to provide actionable information for policy and practice, suggesting instead a flexible, iterative participatory approach to improve the uptake of climate services in planning and decision contexts.

• Conventional climate research often fails to impact policy and practice because it rarely provides information that is usable or actionable for societal actors.
• The use of co-production in risk assessments has led to mutual learning, a better understanding of climate risks and vulnerability, and the actual integration of findings into planning and decision-making contexts, alongside scientific and methodological innovations.
• To address remaining practical challenges in co-production, the authors recommend a flexible and iterative participatory approach that allows for joint learning and the continuous reassessment of stakeholder capacities and needs.
