Coastal vulnerability and freshwater security brochure from the first ever Belmont Forum Synthesis Workshop
Future Earth Coasts and the Integration and Application Network released a synthesis of Belmont Forum projects addressing Coastal Vulnerability and Freshwater Security. The 8-page brochure details effective methods for co-designing and co-implementing science projects with a breadth of stakeholders to move beyond established knowledge. Check it out here and a link to the document has just been posted on the Belmont Forum webpage.
The synthesis is a result of the valorization workshop facilitated by Future Earth Coasts and Integration and Application Network in December in San Francisco, California. More on this workshop can be found here. Lessons learned within the document provide, both those new and familiar with the Belmont Forum, a compelling view of the research advances and stakeholder engagement supported by the Forum.
