Abstract:
This working paper provides insights that Collaborative Adaptation Research in Africa and Asia (CARIAA) and similar adaptation research initiatives can apply to help determine the potential of knowledge co-production as a means to influence policy, practice and behaviour. It outlines a range of approaches to, and some limits on, co-production of knowledge in climate and development. Using a review of recent literature and a sample of six case studies of self-identified “successful” co-production processes, success factors are proposed and examined across different approaches and problem types.
