These categories are closely linked efforts to enhance the incorporation of scientific knowledge into policy need to harness mechanisms within each.
We describe four ways that environmentalists can respond to policy windows and increase the likelihood of knowledge uptake: 1) foresee (and create) emergent windows, 2) respond quickly to opening windows, 3) frame research in line with appropriate windows, and 4) persevere in closed windows. These ‘policy windows’ are sometimes predictable, such as those dealing with conventions or legislation with a defined renewal period, but are often hard to anticipate.
Therefore, a piece of research may have a negligible or transformative policy influence depending on when it is presented. However, the opportunity for environmentalists to influence policy can often occur within short, discrete time windows. Scientific knowledge is considered to be an important factor (alongside others) in environmental policy-making.
