Participatory and elicitation approaches, where the concerns and involvement of a broader range of interest groups and stakeholders are taken into account, can improve the effectiveness of decision-making  . Participatory planning includes a variety of co-generative strategies and approaches  through which goals and objectives, knowledge and strategy implementation and evaluation can be decided collaboratively between practitioners, policymaking, local interests and groups, and scientists . Specifically, for climate change adaptation, these decision- making strategies can incorporate expert, Indigenous and local knowledge  . The challenge will be to bring together these different actors, as stakeholders tend to act within rather than among systems and procedures, and it is important that platforms are developed to integrate data effectively . Furthermore, reflexive and iterative risk management may further ensure acceptance by participating groups.
