“…Five of the case studies identify a Development and Design component in which the project is designed collaboratively in order to incorporate the different values, interests, and insights of all the identified relevant stakeholders as well as the different scientists (Cvitanovic et al 2016;Akpo et al 2015;Kirono et al 2014;Podesta et al 2013;Castellanos et al 2013).…”

“…Cvitanovic et al (2016: 4) illustrated what can happen when co-development does not occur. Some participants in that study remarked that "Some of the research that had been done really wasn't what was Four papers discuss ways to co-define research methods, instruments, and analytical frameworks (Akpo et al 2015;Kirono et al 2014;Castellano et al 2013;Podesta et al 2013). For example, Akpo et al (2015) worked with all the practitioners involved to collectively agree to use the farmers' criteria to measure successful plant nursery practices; reasoning that farmers are the people who ultimately will purchase the seedlings.…”

Similarly, Podesta et al (2013) and Kirono et al (2014) incorporated stakeholders' inputs in their co-modeling. Stakeholders' regular reviews of an agent-based model of agricultural production was necessary to enhance model transparency, and to ensure "face validity" of concepts and features (Podesta et al 2013).…”

“…Young et al (2016) explain that stakeholders seek different information depending on their position (social, economic, employment, gender, among others), and this affects the manner in which they prefer to engage with researchers, which is reflected in examples from the case studies. Five of the cases provided examples of working within existing community structures to maximize outreach and engagement (Cvitanovic et al 2016;Kraaijvanger et al 2016;Foley et al 2017;Akpo et al 2015;Kirono et al 2014). This approach included identifying the local "champions and leaders"-locally influential people (Kirono et al 2014)-who could identify and make connections with the most relevant local participants.…”

This review paper addresses the challenging question of "how to" design and implement co-production of knowledge in climate science and other environmental and agricultural sciences. Based on a grounded theory review of nine (9) published case studies of transdisciplinary and collaborative research projects, the paper offers a set of common themes regarding specific components and processes for the design, implementation, and achievement of co-production of knowledge work, which represent the "Modus Operandi" of knowledge co-production. The analysis focuses on practical methodological guidance based on lessons from how different research teams have approached the challenges of complex collaborative research. We begin by identifying broad factors or actions that inhibit or facilitate the process, then highlight specific practices associated with co-production of knowledge and necessary competencies for undertaking co-production. We provide insights on issues such as the integration of social and professional cultures, gender and social equity, and power dynamics, and illustrate the different ways in which researchers have addressed these issues. By exploring the specific practices involved in knowledge co-production, this paper provides guidance to researchers on how to navigate different possibilities of the process of conducting transdisciplinary and co-production of knowledge research projects that best fit their research context, stakeholder needs, and research team capacities.

“…1), where future management planning also needs to account for climate change (Kirono et al 2013). One of the shortcomings of existing tools and methods for assessment is that they tend to focus on formal administrative structures, those being explicitly stated in policy documents and laws, despite the acknowledgment that these may have little to do with the everyday reality of natural resource management (Stein et al 2011).…”

Urban water systems are typical examples of complex systems facing many pressures, such as increased population, water quality deterioration, and climate change. This paper explores social networks of the key stakeholders engaged in urban water management, in Makassar City, Indonesia, in the context of exploring ways to improve management of an increasingly complex urban water system. Three social networks were explored; those constituted by formal and informal interactions and networks perceived by stakeholders to be "ideal". Formal networks were identified through an examination of the legislative instruments and government agencies' documents relating to water provision in Makassar, while the informal and "ideal" networks were investigated in collaboration with the stakeholders. The research found that the informal social network was more extensive than were the formally required networks, and the investigation of informal networks created a potentially more robust and adaptive water management system than would have occurred through inclusion of formal institutional arrangements. We suggest that in examination of the adaptive capacity of an urban water system, one also considers the informal arrangements and linkages, as this additional information about the system is necessary to enhance our understanding of potential adaptation of water management and improved urban water systems ABSTRACTSocial networks play an important role in environmental governance regimes, and they are a key to the adaptive capacity of systems that deal with complex, contextual and multi-faceted issues.

Green Information Technology (Green IT) emerged as a critical research agenda for reducing organizations' carbon footprints to achieve environmental sustainability. This paper aims to understand the factors that affect the adoption of Green Information Technology in the context of a developing country. Studies that have focused on both individual and organizational level factors (multi‐level approach) remain limited. The Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA), Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), and Technology‐Organization‐Environment (TOE) framework was used as a theoretical lens to address the gap in the literature. The theoretical background and participatory case study (qualitative) as the methodology was used to investigate the factors at multiple levels that could affect Green IT implementation in the developing country context (Indian business school). The findings reveal that three key dimensions affect the implementation of Green IT‐ Need, Scope, and the Inclination to adopt Green IT. Each dimension includes a mix of factors at the individual and organizational levels. This paper contributes to the theory by proposing a framework for multi‐level Green IT adoption. It also provides guidelines to the practitioners for considering the intervention factors at the individual and organizational levels.
