Abstract
<jats:p>Climate change presents complex challenges for cities worldwide, requiring innovative and collaborative approaches to enhance resilience and adaptability. In response to this phenomenon, knowledge co-production plays a vital role in integrating diverse perspectives to address climate-related risks and promote adaptive urban environments. This research aims to investigate current consensus on how knowledge co-production is operationalised, particularly in climate resilience and urban settings. This study follows the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and MetaAnalyses (PRISMA) protocol to identify, screen, and analyse relevant publications systematically. A total of 36 publications were reviewed to examine the types of disturbances, the dimensions of stakeholder engagement, and current practices of knowledge co-production. The findings highlight the growing significance of knowledge co-production in addressing climate-related challenges through strong stakeholder engagement, local knowledge integration, and effective science– policy interfaces. Moreover, these processes require balanced and meaningful participation among all stakeholders, particularly local community involvement, to ensure that initiatives can be scaled up and become systemic rather than fragmented.</jats:p>
