ABSTRACT

Learning and the use of feedback information is a key aspect of adaptation. However, the involvement of multiple actors in co-management processes poses additional demands and challenges to learning. Multiple actors need to engage in collaborative learning efforts and multiple actors need to decide on desirable ways to adapt to changing circumstances. How do actors engage in such learning efforts, and how do they decide on adaptations? Do actors learn from the impacts of their policy decisions? Is there evidence of deliberate learning efforts, and are decisions over time connected? In other words: how do actors learn in situations of co-management?
