This workshop will use case studies to explore the range of ways stakeholder engagement can be done, from small-scale, local efforts focused on a particular issue to more complex ways of engaging entire communities in climate change research and modeling work. Experienced collaboration practitioners will share their experiences and recommendations for best practices. Participants will be encouraged to discuss the relevance of particular stakeholder engagement processes in their own work.
