Building Multi-Actor Dialogue and Knowledge Co-Production on Pollinator Futures
The VALOR project is launching its Working Group with a kick-off meeting bringing together project partners, researchers, policymakers, representatives from EU-funded pollinator projects, and stakeholders from seven focal European regions. As a key component of the project, the Working Group will provide a participatory platform to explore how pollinator declines affect ecosystems, farm businesses, local communities, and decision-making processes across Europe.
The meeting will introduce the project’s objectives and methodology, identify key regional challenges and knowledge gaps, and help shape the priorities for a series of interactive webinars. By fostering dialogue across sectors and governance levels, the Working Group aims to co-produce knowledge, strengthen stakeholder engagement, and support the development of practical recommendations and tools to address pollinator-related risks.
