The inclusion of social actors is widely acknowledged as a precondition for just and sustainable adaptation strategies to climate change. The integration of diverse types of scientific and local knowledge contributes to a better understanding of problems and increases the relevance of science at the local scale. In this study, we - an interdisciplinary team of scientists - employed a transdisciplinary methodology to enable the discussion of collaborative action the Salvadoran coffee sector needs to adapt to current and future impacts of climate change. Through a stakeholder encounter we elicited knowledge exchange among stakeholders to generate (i) a collective awareness of the experiences of climate impacts and (ii) outline a research agenda to facilitate a transdisciplinary climate change adaptation strategy. We used a suite of standard and participatory data-gathering methods, including desk research, in-depth informal conversations, questionnaires, field visits, small-group discussions, and a one-day workshop. In this paper, we present the methodological approach and the outcomes of the transdisciplinary research process. We ultimately outline a collectively generated research agenda using the input of stakeholders who partook in the workshop.

人们广泛认为，社会行为者的参与是公正和可持续的气候变化适应战略的先决条件。不同类型的科学知识和地方知识的整合有助于更好地理解问题并提高科学在地方范围内的相关性。在这项研究中，我们——一个跨学科的科学家团队——采用了跨学科的方法来讨论萨尔瓦多咖啡行业适应当前和未来气候变化影响所需的合作行动。通过与利益相关者的接触，我们引发了利益相关者之间的知识交流，以产生（i）对气候影响经验的集体意识，以及（ii）概述研究议程以促进跨学科的气候变化适应战略。我们使用了一套标准的参与式数据收集方法，包括案头研究、深入的非正式对话、问卷调查、实地考察、小组讨论和为期一天的研讨会。在本文中，我们介绍了跨学科研究过程的方法论和结果。我们最终利用参加研讨会的利益相关者的意见，概述了集体生成的研究议程。
