NC CASC-USGS team members Aparna Bamzai-Dodson, Amanda Cravens, Alisa Wade, and Renee McPherson (SC CASC) have published a new paper, "Engaging with stakeholders to produce actionable science: a framework and guidance" in Weather, Climate, and Society. The author team proposes a conceptual framework to characterize common stakeholder engagement approaches used to conduct actionable climate adaptation research. This framework is intended to help researchers navigate and select the stakeholder engagement approach that might best fit their project objectives and provide them with a vocabulary to describe and justify their proposed engagement strategy more accurately. The set of relevant literature to support this framework is vast, and the team would very much welcome feedback and collaboration around what we got right, what might still need additional refinement, and what we missed.
