Understanding why and what works best when influencing policy lies at the heart of the RAPID programme. Our research and experience suggests that research often has very little influence over policy decisions, but the effects it can have on the outcomes of policies are significant. This area of work aims to develop RAPID’s understanding of existing contexts by unpacking the reasons behind these roles which will in turn assist policy entrepreneurs in making more strategic choices. We seek to inform both the way RAPID supports policy entrepreneurs and at the same time design our own research-based influencing strategies.

Amy Merritt and Tristan Stubbs examine the challenges of promoting environmental citizenship in the UK. Citizen participation in policymaking is receiving greater attention from politicians, academics, and citizens. However, due to political and institutional barriers and a lack of resources, citizens face real challenges in their engagement. They explore the legislative parameters of localism in the UK by charting the Transition Town movement’s contribution to locally driven sustainability.

The international debate often lacks evidence of what is happening on the ground, and recommendations for future action are often made without the proper knowledge of what the current situation is, what currently works and what doesn't work, and what needs to be addressed within countries. One of the main concerns is that that lessons from the aid effectiveness agenda will not be taken on board in the delivery of climate finance. The study provides a snapshot of climate finance in Indonesia and offers lessons regarding the effectiveness of international support for climate change at the national level. Lessons can then be applied in the future for international development cooperation in terms of providing finance to address climate change.
