Transformative Learning and Engagement with Climate Change Adaptation: Experiences with Sweden’s Forestry Sector
The study examines the role of transformative learning in engaging 24 Swedish forestry stakeholders from Kronoberg and Västerbotten counties with climate change adaptation. While focus group discussions increased general knowledge and awareness, they had limited impact on the perceived urgency of action, as many stakeholders viewed climate impacts as distant or contradicted by personal experience. The findings suggest that engagement is highest when scientific knowledge is linked to stakeholders' specific objectives and past experiences with extreme weather, and that deep-rooted distrust in climate science remains a significant barrier.
