Abstract In the face of a rapidly urbanizing and warming planet, there is urgency for local governments to develop community resilience strategies. Successful climate change adaptation will likely require the inclusion of local knowledge, especially from historically marginalized communities. One pathway for this is through research projects and government planning activities that employ processes of co‐production to generate actionable knowledge relevant to the community. This paper describes the approach, results, and reflections of a multi‐sectoral partnership organized to engage residents of a small municipality to co‐produce the meaning of community climate resilience, through methods including individual interviews, cognitive mapping, and a group workshop. This approach can help address recognitional justice, a form of environmental justice defined as acknowledging and uplifting the lived experiences and expertise of impacted communities. As a case study, the paper provides details on implementing the project that reveal the challenges and strengths, as well as the non‐linear aspects of this type of community‐based engagement. It concludes with a discussion of potential ways to overcome the obstacles to scaling labor and time‐intensive community‐engaged processes of co‐production.
