This second discussion paper by the Agile Initiative programme research team reviews the role of publics and deliberation at the environmental science-policy interface, to help researchers and decision-makers navigate the expanding field of participatory research in environmental science and policy.

A discussion paper written by the Agile Initiative programme research team, this document explores the relationship between environmental research and its use in environmental policy.

Highlands Rewilding have used community engagement research produced by the Sprint team “How do we scale up Nature-based Solutions?” to inform rewilding projects in the Scottish Highlands.

The “How do we account for biodiversity?” Sprint team were highly commended at the Vice-Chancellor’s Awards in the Research Engagement category.

In March, the Sprint team “How do we scale up Nature-based Solutions?”, hosted a webinar on the Sprint’s new website the Nature-based Solutions Knowledge Hub. Following the webinar, Sprint lead Alison Smith received over 20 requests for use of the opportunity maps, a good example of stakeholder webinars leading to direct impact.

A new algorithm devised by Professor Samar Khatiwala could significantly decrease the time-sink in the spin-up process in Earth System Models.
