Abstract

Digital technology is continuously transforming participation in research, policy, and practice; however, its effectiveness in delivering meaningful and inclusive outcomes remains uncertain. This chapter examines the use of digital tools for participation in environmental decision-making processes, considering their potentials, challenges, and ethical implications. To promote equitable environmental decision-making in an increasingly digitised world, more informed choices of online, in-person, and hybrid approaches are crucial.
