Participation and learning for climate change adaptation: a case study of the Swedish forestry sector

The document examines a case study of the Swedish forestry sector to assess the impact of participatory processes on climate change adaptation learning. It finds that such processes increase individual learning by shifting how stakeholders perceive climate effects and vulnerability, leading to calls for more multi-level, multi-stakeholder collaboration arenas.

• The deliberative process resulted in increased individual learning among stakeholders, evidenced by changes in their expressions of knowledge, values, and perceptions regarding climate change effects, vulnerability, and adaptation measures.
• Stakeholders expressed a desire for the establishment of multi-level and multi-stakeholder arenas to facilitate collaboration and knowledge sharing on climate change adaptation within the Swedish forestry sector.
• There is a identified need to research how participatory learning approaches can be scaled up to support the mainstreaming of adaptation.
