In recent decades, co-production has become a cornerstone both in science and policy-making, motivating further collaboration between different actors. In their new review in Energy Research & Social Science, Ester Galende-Sánchez and Alevgul Sorman argue that there is a crucial need for a better interconnection between science and policy (especially at national and international scales) and that a reflection on transformation is fundamental when planning any participatory initiative. They also claim that, despite not being a silver bullet, meaningful citizen participation constitutes a viable alternative to tackle today's complex problems.
This need is also argued by Haris Doukas and Alexandros Nikas, in their letter to Nature, arguing that promises to engage the public in inclusive and transparent dialogue are all very well, but modelling teams must now put these ideas into practice.
