Our scoping review assessed how citizen science approaches have been used to identify and address climate-related housing risk factors that impact upon health. We searched five electronic databases and conducted forwards and backwards citation searching to identify studies for inclusion. We synthesised data on key study characteristics, as well as their focus, methods, and reported impacts. Fifty-six studies were included. Most studies focused on water quality (53.6 %), followed by toxic substances (35.7 %), air quality (19.6 %), noise (7.1 %), and indoor temperature (1.8 %). Studies utilised quantitative (100 %) and, to a much lesser extent, qualitative data collection methods (8.9 %). Over one-third of studies reported impacts, ranging from benefits to citizen scientists through to influencing government action. Citizen science holds great potential for collecting large amounts of data, incorporating diverse perspectives, generating awareness of issues, and catalysing action to improve housing in the face of climate change. By focusing on a broad set of risk factors and methods, integrating mechanisms to improve data quality, and articulating impacts, citizen science approaches could better meet the needs of research that seeks to involve communities and create change.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":313,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Science & Policy","volume":"170 ","pages":"Article 104102"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144147970","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After a training exercise led by researchers, citizens and stakeholders were involved in both the diagnosis and the co-creation process of measures. To that purpose, several approaches were used such as interviews, surveys, workshops, dissemination of science, environmental education activities and citizen science tools. In particular, the project comprises 8 steps, where steps 1–5 were considered as the first round of the project, conducted in a training format and dynamized by university researchers and an NGO, while steps 6–8 were considered as the second round and conducted as a reinforcement. These steps consisted of: (1) a local tandem training (i.e. environmental and library technicians from each municipality), (2) a stakeholder field trip using the RiuNet citizen science tool to assess an urban river from each municipality, (3) an analysis of all available data from each sampling site, (4) a co-creation process of measures, (5) a second local tandem training, (6) same as step 2 but dynamized by both researchers and local tandem, (7) a review of the co-created measures, and (8) an implementation of at least one of the co-created measures.

In response, many decision-makers have initiated processes of planning for climate change adaptation. However, implementation frequently lags in practice. Scholarship exploring adaptation lag often focuses on the role of governance, specifically as it relates to interactions between various common levels of government (e. g., provincial, state, federal). However, there is a dearth of academic literature that targets the relationship between local and territorial governments, particularly in a northern context. To contribute to the narrowing of this gap, we explore the relationship between local and territorial governments in Canada in an effort to shed light on the ways in which government interactions influence progress on adaptation. Specifically, this qualitative study focuses on three local governments (Dawson City, Haines Junction and Whitehorse) in Yukon, a territory in northwest Canada, to explore how enablers and barriers emerge and influence climate adaptation action. Results demostrate that local government decision-makers (e. g., elected officials and senior managers) are eager to adapt. However, challenges impede implementation of adaptation policies in practice. Application of an evolutionary governance lens reveals that path dependencies associated with an awareness of the need to respond to climate impacts facilitate buy-in for adaptation. In contrast, goal dependencies that prioritize mitigation over adaptation stymie momentum on adaptation. Moreover, interdependencies and complex power dynamics related to the local-territorial relationship create unclear roles, further constraining the implementation of adaptation policies in practice. Recommendations geared towards overcoming these challenges are provided.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":313,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Science & Policy","volume":"170 ","pages":"Article 104097"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144115532","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While conventional air quality governance has relied on costly, specialized instruments, recent advances in lower capital cost sensors and digital infrastructure have enabled broader participation in environmental monitoring. This shift creates opportunities for integrating scientific, local, and practical knowledge into air quality governance. However, significant barriers persist, including inequities in access to data, technical resources, capacity constraints, and entrenched power imbalances. The Breathe London Community Programme was developed to address these challenges by integrating community-based knowledge with scientific air quality monitoring. Implemented within a hybrid network of over 400 real-time calibrated air pollution sensors, the BLCP distributed free sensors to 60 community groups across London from 2021 to 2023. The program enabled communities to choose sensor locations, fostering data contextualized by local experiences and redistributing decision-making power. This participatory approach helped facilitate actionable insights that informed local policy changes aimed at reducing pollution exposure. It also expanded governance networks and highlighted pathways for aligning community-based knowledge with institutional frameworks. The findings emphasize the importance of designing participatory methodologies that adapt to diverse community needs, strengthen grassroots capacity, and integrate non-dominant knowledge into decision-making practices. This study demonstrates how democratizing environmental data production and use can enhance the efficacy of air quality governance, providing a model for embedding community-driven knowledge into policy development and decision-making processes globally.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":313,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Science & Policy","volume":"170 ","pages":"Article 104092"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144090190","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Following these trends, the Quebec government (Canada) also engaged in biodiversity conservation efforts on private lands to reduce perceived environmental injustice arising from imposed conservation measures. However, citizen involvement has remained mainly a communicative or consultative participation, lacking effective citizen contribution. Based on our work with conservation actors in Quebec, we present a double-loop social-ecological (SE) trap that we foresee for conservation measures implemented on private lands used for production purposes. We used the SE-AS framework to illustrate the SE trap which suggests that including merely consultative landowner participation in the design of conservation measures might lead to a misunderstanding of both the production ecosystems dynamics and the interests and concerns of landowners. This misunderstanding could result in a mismatch between conservation measures and production ecosystems, lower production, lost opportunities and disengagement from conservation measures on the part of landowners. Such a context could, in turn, induce decision-makers to perceive participative efforts as failures, resulting in the re-establishment of top-down decision-making. Ultimately, landowners might react to these imposed conservation measures just as they did in the past, perceiving them as environmental injustice and refusing to comply. We conclude that effective landowner participation through active involvement in cooperative planning and co-management, supported by a systemic perspective, would allow better integration of the knowledge and concerns of landowners, and ultimately, better integration of conservation efforts with production activities.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":313,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Science & Policy","volume":"170 ","pages":"Article 104095"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143931754","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
