Research

Thesis title: ‘What does success mean? Co-producing Climate Adaptation Information and Decision-Making in Austria.’

Lilli’s research, taking place at the science-policy interface, focuses on understanding what success means in the context of co-producing climate adaptation information.

The core objective of her PhD is to investigate what success means in the co-production process via three interrelated aims:

1. To map the different types of co-production practised in Austrian climate information and adaptation planning efforts;
2. To investigate what success means in the co-production of climate information, and how success aligns with different types of co-production; and
3. To analyse the link between the use and usability of co-produced information for adaptation decision-making.
