Knowledge Translation and Dissemination in Adaptation Research

This article explores the vital role of Knowledge Translation (KT) in adaptation research, particularly in informing policy and promoting effective practices for vulnerable populations facing climate change. The authors, including Dr. James Ford and colleagues, discuss the ethical dimensions of research, integrated KT approaches, and the necessity of ongoing engagement with stakeholders such as policymakers and communities. Practical examples of effective KT methods, including media strategies, reports, and presentations, are presented to illustrate how KT can be employed as both an intervention and a framework for capacity development in adaptation research.
