Stakeholder identification and mapping in climate change projects involve pinpointing diverse groups like governments, NGOs, indigenous communities, industries, and vulnerable populations affected by risks such as sea-level rise or extreme weather. Effective strategies include brainstorming via workshops, using power-interest grids or "rainbow diagrams" to prioritize based on influence, interest, and vulnerability, and iteratively refining lists to include marginalized voices.Climate-Specific Techniques Assess stakeholders' roles in adaptation or mitigation, such as regulators for policy or farmers for resilience data, via matrices plotting influence against climate impact. Tools like stakeholder registers track engagement across project phases, from decarbonization planning to monitoring. Negotiation skills mediate conflicts, like industry vs. environmental goals, by finding shared adaptation wins through BATNA and multi-stakeholder dialogues. Communication builds coalitions via tailored, transparent channels, fostering trust and aligning interests for equitable climate action.
