Co-creation in citizen science (CS) for the development of climate adaptation measurements—Which success factors promote and which barriers hinder a fruitful collaboration and co-creation process between scientists and volunteers?

local early warning systems for climate protection together with citizens. In this paper we presented the results of our workshop at the Engaging Citizen Science Conference 2022, where we discussed the topic of co-creation in citizen science (CS) for the development of climate adaptation measurements—Which success factors promote and which barriers hinder a fruitful collaboration and co-creation process between scientists and volunteers? Under consideration were the social, motivational, technical/technological and legal factors. Our findings suggest that a clear communication strategy of goals and how citizen scientists can contribute to the project are important. In addition, citizen scientists have to feel that they are included in the project and that their contribution makes a difference
