| Partnerships | decision-making power is redistributed through negotiation between responsible authority and stakeholders |

Active involvement, partnerships and empowerment are considered ‘deeper’ forms of stakeholder involvement in the context of this report. Country responses brought up an additional form of involvement, co-creation, where multiple public and private sector stakeholders work together and share responsibility for developing knowledge, options and solutions. Elements of co-creation can be found in both partnerships and empowerment.
