Despite knowledge co-production becoming a “central ambition at the environmental science-policy interface,” experiential knowledge remains marginalized. Johner et al. offer 7 recommendations, particularly a key role for stories, as a way forward @chriscvitanovic.bsky.social‬ doi.org/10.1016/j.en...
