Stakeholders such as local communities and government entities often prioritise different dimensions of climate-related risks . Adaptation initiatives that identify locally relevant climate stressors and risks through knowledge co-production have the potential to be more acceptable and effective   . However, tenable co-production requires recognition of the validity and integrity of diverse knowledges systems, including those held by Indigenous Peoples and local communities, as well as the provision of sufficient time and resources for meaningful engagement between stakeholder groups . Power imbalances and knowledge politics continue to impede the inclusion of historically underrepresented voices in adaptation planning and action . Citizen science plays an additional role in facilitating the inclusion of multiple knowledge traditions .
