This article presents a research project that explores participatory citizen science approaches for climate change risk mapping and adaptation. It reviews literature on participatory citizen science and introduces the concept of the "right to research." An action-research project conducted on the Brazilian coast involved communities in mapping disaster risks using citizen science, Participatory Geographic Information Systems (PGIS), and social cartography. The article concludes by discussing the contributions and limitations of the "right to research" in reframing citizen science from a democratic perspective.
