Co-Producing Climate Resilient Places

A new study found that when communities come together to share their stories and visions for creating resilient places, they can make significant progress in adapting to climate change. Researchers used storytelling techniques to bring together community groups, government officials, and public sector representatives to co-produce adaptation plans. The key turning points identified were changes in governance structures, improved communication, and the use of dedicated platforms to share knowledge across different scales. However, the study also warns that relying solely on local adaptation targets can be limiting if they don't take into account broader community priorities or resilience goals.
