An Innovative Partnership and Methods for Knowledge Co-Production in Water Governance. The case study of the Gesso Stura Natural Park
Progetto Our 3-day-workshop sets a common framework for co-production of knowledge (CoPK) through the mapping and evaluation of existing climate-smart water governance practices. By using an inductive and comparative approach we explore how state and non-state actors can systematically and effectively develop ways of CoPK to take into account the perspectives of different knowledge bearers. We assert that CoPK can successfully counter the perceived lack of effectiveness of the mostly uni-lateral participatory rules in administrative and international decision-making. Even though the workshop connects the narrative of effective participation with the best practices of CoPK from selected local communities (Italy and Germany), it is open to inputs and contributions from other geographical areas.
