Abstract

Drawing on insights from a four-day online workshop which explored geoengineering and policy making with 13 youth participants, a staff and student
authorial team provide an introductory guide to writing research summaries for
policy makers. We set out four stages including, (1) Identifying the key message
and audience, (2) Reading and critically engaging with examples of policy briefs
during the drafting process, (3) Developing the policy brief text, and (4)
Reviewing and revising the policy brief. We have developed this guidance with
a co-creative, group work approach in mind but suggest that this is also helpful
for those working on individual projects in and beyond the discipline of
geography
