Climate risk management is a new and evolving area and many decisions are likely to be affected by climate risks over the long-form. This paper presents a decision-making framework designed for managing climate alongside non-climate risk factors. The framework describes a process that should help identify and manage these risks. It can be used to help decision-makers answer questions about whether adaptation is required, and, if so, which measures should be implemented. Adaptive management is recommended as a useful approach for dealing with climate and other uncertainties. This paper describes an application of the framework to a wafer resources case study. Feedback from training workshops based on four different case studies suggests the framework provides of minimum a useful (post-hoc) decision analysis tool. Potential users, who include planners, consultants and policy-makers have been largely positive about the prospective utility of the framework. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
