Designing for collective action: a knowledge co-production process to address water governance challenges on the island of Öland, Sweden

A knowledge co-production process can effectively mobilize diverse actors to address complex sustainability challenges, such as water governance on Öland, Sweden. By integrating systems, target, and operational knowledge through dialogue-based workshops, the study demonstrates how collective action emerges from articulating and connecting individually held perspectives, values, and priorities. This approach fosters inclusive and equitable strategies for adapting to climate change, revealing its potential as a cornerstone for sustainable landscape management.
