Indigenous knowledge on climate change adaptation: a global evidence map of academic literature (2020, background): “David-Chavez and Gavin (2018), therefore, argue that journals and funding agencies could improve research standards by requiring reporting on responsible engagement and providing incentives for knowledge co-production in climate adaptation research projects (see also Dilling and Lemos 2011).”
Explaining differential vulnerability to climate change: A social science review (2018, background): “Creating a productive space through coproduction of knowledge removes barriers to climate change adaptation (Dilling & Lemos, 2011; Engle & Lemos, 2010; Moser & Ekstrom, 2010; Rice et al., 2015).”
Moving Toward the Deliberate Co-Production of Climate Science Knowledge (2015, methodology): “…have been identified generally as building ongoing relationships between scientists and stakeholders, ensuring two-way communication between the groups, and maintaining a focus on the production of usable science (Dilling and Lemos 2011; Lemos and Morehouse 2005; National Research Council 2009).”
How to Track Adaptation to Climate Change: A Typology of Approaches for National-Level Application (2013, background): “…of vulnerable groups (Yohe and Tol 2002, Adger et al. 2005, Lemos and Morehouse 2005, Fussel 2008, de Bruin et al. 2009, Preston et al. 2009, Smith et al. 2009, Ford et al. 2010, Moser and Ekstrom 2010, Brooks et al. 2011, Dilling and Lemos 2011, Ford and Berrang-Ford 2011, Preston et al. 2011).”
Forecasting vegetation condition for drought early warning systems in pastoral communities in Kenya (2019, background): “Such co-production strategies allow us to bridge the usability gap [51, 52] and provides confidence that our forecasting methods may be used.”
Climate Change and Western Public Lands: a Survey of U.S. Federal Land Managers on the Status of Adaptation Efforts (2012, background): “Science that is usable for decision making can be produced effectively when researchers work with users to create practically useful information (Dilling and Lemos 2011).”
The Right Stuff? Informing Adaptation to Climate Change in British Local Government (2015, positive): “To understand the various institutional barriers facing LAs, we asked them to assess the importance of various measures for promoting adaptation highlighted in the literature (e.g. Adger et al., 2005; Dilling and Lemos, 2011; Hjerpe et al., 2014; Measham et al., 2011).”
