在过去的半个世纪里，人们对真正的公民参与公共政策和决策的需求非常强烈，尤其是在可持续发展领域。例如，公民参与基于自然的解决方案（NBS）的深度和形式，以及这种参与如何塑造他们的轨迹，正受到越来越多的关注。在本文中，我们分析了目前的形式和影响的公民参与国家统计局在21个城市进行的58个案例研究，在支持更广泛的可持续发展目标。我们的研究结果表明，虽然象征性的形式在各种国家统计局的背景下主导公民参与，但协作的多利益相关者参与形式并不互变地导致生态功能的增强。然而，更深入的参与形式可加强预期和意外的社会成果并使之多样化，包括社会学习、增强归属感、环境管理以及总体上的包容性和公平。在新自由主义紧缩逻辑的驱动下，政府经常将权力让给国家统计局的推动者，他们的利益违背了干预的自然观。因此，更深层次的参与受到固有体制结构、新自由主义制度和有关行为体之间缺乏信任的限制。通过加强公共机构的关系能力和反思能力，可以部分克服这些限制。关注公民参与进程和创造多个讨论场所可以带来新的声音和叙述，也可以改变参与文化。
The last half‐a‐century has seen a marked demand for authentic citizen participation in public policy‐and decision‐making, not least in the field of sustainability. The depth and forms of citizen engagement in nature‐based solutions (NBS), for example, and how such participation shapes their trajectories is gaining increasing attention. In this paper, we analyze current forms and implications of citizen participation in 58 NBS case studies conducted in 21 cities in the light of supporting wider sustainability goals. Our results show that while tokenistic forms dominate citizen participation across a variety of NBS contexts, collaborative multi‐stakeholder forms of engagement donotautomatically lead to enhanced ecological functions. Deeper forms of engagement, however, strengthen and diversify both expected and unexpected social outcomes, including social learning, enhanced sense of belonging, environmental stewardship, and inclusiveness and equity, in general. Driven by neoliberal austerity logic governments often cede power to NBS promoters whose interests predefine an intervention's vision of nature. Deeper levels of participation are hence limited by inherent institutional structures, neoliberal regimes and the lack of trust among actors involved. These limitations can be partially bridged by strengthening relational and reflexive capacities of public institutions. Focusing on theprocessof citizen engagement and creating multiple arenas for discussion could bring out new voices and narratives and also transform the culture of participation.
