Envisaging Climate Adaptation Pathways in the Built Environment: Insights from a Participatory Workshop
University of Reading | Reading | United Kingdom
Case Study Presentation | 11am – 12pm, BST (Find Local Time)
Duration: 1 hour
Platform: MS Teams
Description: A participatory, multi-stakeholder approach is essential to identify climate adaptation pathways that bridge between top-down policy and bottom-up operational realities. This talk will demonstrate findings from a co-production workshop conducted in Turkiye. A workshop was designed where key stakeholders were brought together for capacity building and reflective dialogue. Findings reveal three interdependent climate adaptation pathways that are conceptualised as intertwined learning trajectories requiring capacity building and collective action. Key issues include climate change governance, resilient infrastructure delivery, climate finance, and management of climate risk in projects. The study contributes to current theoretical debates by exploring the perspectives of different stakeholders as a means of framing resilience and adaptation pathways in the built environment. The proposed approach offers a structured framework for use in similar research settings.
