ARA knowledge-to-policy workshop

• To convene a knowledge-to-policy workshop that highlights innovative, locally led adaptation solutions supported by the Knowledge Catalyst Grant and examines how these innovations can inform policy, investment, and implementation, with a particular focus on how climate and weather information services support evidence-based adaptation planning, decision-making, and resilience at local scales.
• To facilitate structured reflection and peer learning among Emerging Adaptation Professionals to document lessons from the grant, identify approaches that strengthened participants’ publication, leadership, and policy engagement capacities, and generate recommendations for improving future Knowledge Catalyst or similar grant recipients.

Expected outputs

The workshop will produce:

• an expectations map and agreed success criteria;

• a validated KCG journey and adaptation research landscape;

• a concise set of conditions that enabled effective participation and results;

• a simple knowledge-to-policy pathway map;

• an agreed set of barriers or practices requiring attention; and

• five to seven priority recommendations.
