Explanation:
Bringing together a diverse set of stakeholders that operate across several scales and have different levels of power, interest, and vulnerability can prove challenging – especially for discussion of politically charged issues such as sea level rise. Participatory planning is one approach for bringing diverse and marginalized groups into the planning process while also avoiding conflict. The participatory planning approach emphasizes the participation of local stakeholders – that is, those people who live and work in the communities that will be directly affected by the adaptation or mitigation measures under discussion. Participatory planning empowers local stakeholders by directly involving them in the planning process. Facilitators not only share all relevant information with stakeholders, but also encourage stakeholders to participate by brainstorming, investigating, and analyzing options for preparing for sea level rise (or other hazards). Stakeholders are generally asked to break into small groups to discuss these options before sharing their ideas about them with the facilitators and other groups. As discussed later in this module, stakeholders may then use cost-benefit analysis to choose which of these options are most suitable for their community.
