Webinar June 4: “Stakeholder Engagement in Environmental Evidence Synthesis”

Stakeholder Engagement is an integral part of all systematic reviews to some degree. However, there has been a little discussion of this important process in systematic review guidance to date, particularly in the field of environmental management and conservation. This is the second webinar in a series, discussing various aspects of engaging with stakeholders: describing the ranges of methods available, outlining experiences from various systematic review experts, and discussing issues relating to conflict, the benefits of training, engaging directly with decision-makers, and communicating review results.

Description: This is the second webinar session in the current series on “Stakeholder Engagement in Environmental Evidence Synthesis”.

While scientific assessment and systematic reviews aim to be objective, knowledge and how knowledge is produced can be at the center of environmental conflicts.

The aim of this presentation is to place systematic reviews and maps into a broader perspective of conflict management related to knowledge production, including the role of facilitated stakeholder involvement. It will introduce a brief framework for analyzing conflict context in order to facilitate constructive outcomes, which four dimensions that are relevant for choosing among different approaches to knowledge production in conflict situations: type of conflict, view of knowledge, model of stakeholder involvement, and measure of quality. The presentation will also discuss the role of stakeholder involvement in relation to co-production of knowledge and conflicts of interests.
