“…However for multi-stakeholder processes to effectively address problems and lead to robust, plausible solutions, they must be open and include mutual respect, willingness for two-way communication and social learning (e.g., Butterworth et al 2007;Yuen et al 2013). Experiences have also highlighted the importance of designing structured but flexible and creative processes (Andersson et al 2010;Glaas and Jonsson 2014;Jonsson and Wilk 2014), ensuring credibility and stakeholder partnerships including civil society and research organizations (Castellanos et al 2013;Chu et al 2016), actively striving to avoid subjectivity, outsider world views and manipulation by powerful actors (Molle and Mollinga 2003) and including policy-makers and those affected by ensuing decisions (Few et al 2007;Chu et al 2016).…”

In Cochabamba, the vulnerability assessment process focused on La Maica community and the agriculture sector. Community stakeholders were involved in workshops while municipal and regional actors participated through interviews. In the Kota process, the municipality was in the geographical focal point and a multilevel stakeholder group focused upon slum inhabitants. The suggested interventions and actions in both cities were dominated by systems (infrastructure and ecosystems) while identified barriers and facilitating factors to implementation revealed a greater acknowledgement of governance issues. Focus on marginalized groups and sectors is facilitated by the direct representations of those issues. While multi-stakeholder processes can be important forums for social learning adaptation planning that benefit vulnerable sectors and groups, with limited inclusion and responsibility given to representatives of marginalized sectors and groups for implementation actions, it is likely that the interests and priorities of more powerful actors will dominate and not contribute to increasing the resilience of the most vulnerable.

“…Co-production refers to the historical and institutional evolution of scientific ideas and society (Wesselink et al, 2013). It differs from those approaches that focus on participatory or community knowledge production (Landström et al, 2011;Jonsson and Wilk, 2014;Fortmann and Ballard, 2011). The historical and institutional perspective of co-production explains "how authoritative technical knowledge is produced in society and gets stabilized and institutionalized over time, so that it becomes a 'given' or 'taken for granted truth"' (Corburn, 2007;p.…”

a b s t r a c tIn this article, we explore how forestry scientists have promoted and defended particular definitions of economic sustainability as a response to socio-economic challenges. Drawing on an analysis of Finnish forestry textbooks, we discuss the evolving conceptualizations in terms of co-production of scientific ideas and social orders. We argue that to fully understand what economic sustainability means in forestry one has to analyze the choices and preferences concerning the components of scientific ideas, and to identify links between these choices and the evolving societal discourses, social norms, rules of authority, power relations and partnerships, as well as historical events.

“…The WPI employs proxy measures for each indicator; capacity, for example, is comprised of subcomponents that are measurable, such as "under-five mortality" and "educational level" [20:194]. The WPI has been applied worldwide, particularly in low-income pockets of the global North (i.e., west Texas) and in the global South (e.g., China, Kenya, Indonesia, Cambodia) and has given rise to multiple efforts to redefine and/or improve on the initial design of the index, for example, to incorporate agricultural water and climatic conditions [21] or to "open up" the concept to a coproduction of knowledge framework reframing it as a "water prosperity index" [22]. Giné Garriga and Pérez Foguet determined that the WPI has "great relevance in policy making" but exhibits "conceptual weaknesses" including inadequate techniques used to combine data and problems with statistical properties in the resulting composite score…”

This introduction to the special issue addresses the need to move beyond the adaptation information gap and the benefits and problems inherent in this move. It provides a background on this project and a brief review of the existing literature and recent advances in developing measurement and assessment instruments-'metrics'for the important guiding concepts of water security and adaptive capacity in water management. The review summarizes the promise and challenges encountered in the development and application of metrics and demonstrates that significant challenges remain in developing and applying metric instruments in real-world contexts, the most vexing being the lack of agreement on what model(s) to use and how to weight factors; the lack of evaluation of the validity and robustness of the instruments; the lack of consistency in analytical and application scales; deficits in engaging public participation in instrument design and use; and enduring tensions between contextualized and systematized knowledge, descriptive and predictive capabilities, and static and fluid data.
