Environmental Policy Narratives
Exploring 鈥榩olicy narratives鈥� is a growing area of research and practice. 鈥楴arratives鈥� are ways of framing language to 鈥減romote or prioritise particular ideas or values鈥�. Documenting and extracting meaning from these narratives in environmental domains requires the integration of theory and practice across a range of disciplines as well as an understanding of how knowledge and perspectives from diverse stakeholders interact within decision-making contexts. This contribution reflects on the power and potential of narratives from three recent activities: 1) working to support blue-green infrastructure decision-making at metropolitan scale in Santiago, Chile; 2) exploring green space narratives in London, UK and Melbourne, Australia; and 3) discussing narrative construction in environmental policy fiction with staff and students at UCL.
