ABSTRACT Australia's first National Climate Risk Assessment is built on the latest science as well learnings from other countries’ national risk assessments. The goal of assessment was to identify priority risks climate change Australia a nation. Due timeline obligations, this process needed be completed in 4 months, considerably shorter timeframe than In paper, authors share implementing pass Assessment, which brought together more 240 stakeholders across eight systems co‐develop set risks. These are used provide recommendations and advice for working at scale within short timeframes. First, rapid can bring significant diversity range engage broad perspective priorities that should pursued. Second, design multiple opportunities iterate through drafts succession. Third, bringing into discussion increase understanding how connected future work could pursued effective management adaptation planning. Our help inform assessments embrace complexity systemic highlight importance building stakeholder networks support both follows.

Multi-decadal climate services help farmers assess and manage future risks

Nature Climate Change, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 14(6), С. 586 - 591

Опубликована: Май 21, 2024

Abstract Climate services can support on-farm decisions, yet this potential is currently not fully realized. Here, using a participatory qualitative risk analysis framework, we introduced 24 Australian farmers to My View, an online, multi-decadal climate service, and asked them identify, assess discuss management of long-term risks in light its projections. We found that projections help better understand future risks, potentially reducing the psychological distance change. The use projections, however, be impeded by lack confidence data, so leveraging expertise trusted service providers may boost farmers’ confidence. Finally, though providing identify they require interactive recurring engagement turn awareness into action.

Climate services for agriculture: Steering towards inclusive innovation in Australian climate services design and delivery

Climate services are integral to climate change adaptation in agriculture. Inclusive innovation prioritises inclusion of marginalised actors, grassroots knowledge and accessibility use. Yet many processes multi-stakeholder, complex may not prioritise from the outset. In these circumstances, researchers designers seek influence existing projects towards greater inclusivity. This paper explores efforts increase inclusivity processes, focusing on design My View, an online Australian platform for Findings relate contemporary issues inclusive literature, including: (1) Who should be included (within given resourcing)?; (2) How requirements or exclusion can emerge through use a technology; (3) The program level structures upon design. Our approach is informed by Responsible Innovation theory enacted user-centred synthesised analysis 60 semi-structured interviews with farmers, advisors extension officers.

Conceptualizing Coproduced Climate Research as Care: Practical Lessons Learned With Women Farmland‐Owners in the Central Midwest United States

Climate Resilience and Sustainability, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 4(1)

Опубликована: Янв. 2, 2025

ABSTRACT This article's team of interdisciplinary researchers and conservation educator‐practitioners learned with, from, a group women farmland‐owners regarding how to conceptualize coproduced climate research by putting “care” at the center—care for soil, relationships, data. We outline creation evolution storytelling‐based program that allowed our diverse discover language care could integrate analysis, conservation, relationship‐building foster tangible solutions. As result project, landowners took actions supported social‐environmental resilience—from planting cover crops fostering watershed/neighborhood relationships. Our had very different experiences with often views on change itself, but, through storytelling care, we not only knowledge but also created relationships action. article outlines specific practices inflect process resilience promote yield action projects.

Fish and chips: Conservation of freshwater fish populations through an integrative multi‐stakeholder approach

Journal of Applied Ecology, Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Фев. 10, 2025

Abstract Rivers and their fish populations are under threat, prompting diverse conservation efforts. Effective freshwater requires collaborative projects involving multiple stakeholders, including scientists, practitioners, government agencies. Knowledge produced in these can be used to guide the application of evidence‐based actions. We present a unique large‐scale long‐term river monitoring project at alpine River Inn (Bavaria, Germany), where stakeholders from private sector closely collaborate with science governmental institutions. After first phase implementing assessing habitat restoration, we recently employed passive integrated transponder (PIT) technology tag track several 10,000 species. A comprehensive infrastructure comprising 34 permanent temporary sites across 150 kilometres now enables detection movement patterns main parts catchment. This also includes citizen initiative anglers report captured scanning stations. Stakeholder communication is institutionalized through establishment advisory board an annual conference which major findings previous year discussed future management agenda set. transfer occurs translation scientific into easy‐to‐follow guidelines, as well lectures workshops. Synthesis applications . practitioner perspective offers template case study for integrative restoration campaigns. The successful information actions based on active engagement practitioners guidelines. approach presented herein relies principles knowledge co‐production adaptive management, illustrated examples that transferable other aquatic ecosystems.

Preparing for knowledge co-production: A diagnostic approach to foster reflexivity for interdisciplinary research teams

Humanities and Social Sciences Communications, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 12(1)

Abstract There is broad recognition of the essential requirement for collaboration and co-producing knowledge in addressing sustainability crises facilitating societal transitions. While much effort has focused on guiding principles retrospective analysis, there less research equipping researchers with fit-for-context fit-for-purpose approaches preparing implementing engaged research. Drawing literature co-production, transdisciplinary science, we present an operationalising framework accompanying approach designed as a reflexive tool to assist teams embarking co-production. This encourages critical evaluation contexts which are working, examining interactions between positionality, purpose co-producing, contextual stakeholder power, tailoring co-production processes. We tested this diagnostic four interdisciplinary Australia’s national science agency, CSIRO. Data collected during after these applications, indicate that effectively stimulated greater understanding application lens team’s engagement planning. Workshop discussions revealed opportunities reflexivity were generated across learning domains; cognitive, epistemic, normative relational. argue fostering domains strengthens teams’ abilities apply lens, their work. been only initial preparatory phase teams, questions likely applicable later work collaborators could support iterative re-application at important times or throughout life project.
