“…At the local level, there was clear agreement that a suite of services that go beyond the provision of food was preferred, however, although these will add value there is no expectation that they will resolve FI ( 56 , 60 ) . Community level interventions need robust evaluation focusing on the outcome of the immediate alleviation of hunger through the provision of food, rather than their likely impact on FI, for example, through increases in financial literacy.…”

Objective: To establish an international consensus on the definition of food security, measures and advocacy priorities in high-income countries. Design: A two-round online Delphi survey with closing in March 2020 and December 2021. Consensus was set a priori at 75%. Qualitative data was synthesised and priorities were ranked. Setting: High-income countries. Participants: Household food security experts in academia, government and non-government organisations who had published in the last five years. Results: Up to 32 participants from 14 high-income countries responded to the Delphi with a 25% response rate in Round 1 and a 38% response rate in Round 2. Consensus was reached on the technical food security definition and its dimensions. Consensus was not reached on a definition suitable for the general public. All participants agreed that food security monitoring systems provide valuable data for in-country decision-making. Favoured interventions were those that focussed on upstream social policy influencing income. Respondents agreed that both national and local community level strategies were required to ameliorate food insecurity, reinforcing the complexity of the problem. Conclusions: This study furthers the conceptual understanding of the commonly used definition of food security and its constituent dimensions. Strong advocacy is needed to ensure food security monitoring, policy and mitigation strategies are implemented. The consensus on the importance of prioritising actions that address the underlying determinants of household food security by experts in the field from across wealthy nations provides evidence to focus advocacy efforts and generate public debate.

“…Three publications focus on the European context, especially delving into EU policy, regulations and research agendas, and their link with the practice of CS [89][90][91]. Among studies with a multifocal approach that collect data in different countries, six are comparative case studies [92][93][94][95][96][97], and two are conceptual articles which include case studies being discussed [98,99]. One interesting feature is that the study area often exceeds the national borders and embraces geographical regions or ecosystems characterised by the presence of relevant natural elements or resources, whose conditions are being impacted by climate change; i.e., the Baltic Sea [78], the Himalayan region [79,80], river basins [81][82][83], groundwater aquifers [84], forests [85,86], coral reef [87] and migratory flyways [88].…”

“…Although the field of environmental conservation-with issues of biodiversity and pollution monitoring, together with ecology and biology-has been the most extensively explored by the CS tradition and community-based approaches [100][101][102], in our review, the increasingly important scope of climate change adaptation emerges as a wellrepresented sphere as well, with 24 (54.55%) studies. Regarding adaptation issues, besides prototypical adaptation themes such as climate change policy and disaster management, we outline a deepening of food security in food systems and the way they are impacted by climate and environmental changes, and entangled with health issues [89,98,103,104]. Within the studies primarily dealing with conservation, water governance is the most prominent theme, to the extent that water and water ecosystems, such as watersheds and river basins, are emblematic examples of socioecological commons whose governance requires a collective action approach and shared regulation [16,84,105].…”

“…Moreover, themes of forests [86,106] and oceans [87,107,108] health protection and resilience boost a holistic approach to climate-related health risks which acknowledges the non-separateness of human and non-human communities [89].

Multilevel and decentralised governance approaches involving different social actors are increasingly relevant to collectively tackling climate-induced vulnerabilities. Among emergent governance experimentations, citizen science (CS) is a transversal scientific practice characterised by the involvement of citizens in various phases of the scientific process. We performed a PRISMA systematic review of the scientific literature in order to conceptualise the interface between CS and climate governance. The included 44 studies were coded following the thematic analysis method. Information about temporal and geographical distribution, main research designs and methods, climate governance domains and levels of analysis was extracted. Among the most significant results, we stress the existence of a two-way link between CS and climate governance: CS beyond data gathering can facilitate climate change adaptation—namely, counteracting disaster risk, food insecurity and mental health distress due to changing climate, promoting health and wellbeing, and environmental conservation—until systemic changes are made. Conversely, inclusive governance structures and processes may provide support to initiate CS projects. We also discuss the role of psychosocial and justice issues—as well as digital CS—throughout the selected literature, and the implications for future lines of research and policy.
