Typologizing Stakeholder Information Use to Better Understand the Impacts of Collaborative Climate Science

(Abstract from Springer): There is increasing interest among scholars in producing information that is useful and usable to land and natural resource managers in a changing climate. This interest has prompted transitions from scientist- to stakeholder-driven or collaborative approaches to climate science. A common indicator of successful collaboration is whether stakeholders use the information resulting from the projects in which they are engaged. However, detailed examples of how stakeholders use climate information are relatively scarce in the literature, leading to a challenge in understanding what researchers can and should expect and plan for in terms of stakeholder use of research findings. Drawing on theoretical,...

Final Report: Evaluating Current Projects to Inform Future Development of Actionable Science in the Southwest

As climate change continues to impact communities and ecosystems, increasingly researchers have been working collaboratively with land and natural resource management practitioners to produce climate information products intended for their use. This has contributed to a push from science-driven to stakeholder-driven or collaborative approaches to climate science research wherein stakeholder use of climate information products is considered among key indicators of project success (Cash et al. 2006; Dilling and Lemos 2011; Lemos et al. 2012). Yet examples of stakeholder use of these products are seldom reported in the literature. This has left open important questions about whether and how stakeholders use the products...
