DECISION MAKING UNDER DEEP UNCERTAINTY APPLIED TO PLANNING AND EVALUATION OF CALIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION MEASURES

Abstract

 In recent years, a research field called “Decision Making under Deep Uncertainty” has been established, and there is a growing number of cases of applying its proposed methodologies to the planning and evaluation of climate change adaptation measures in water resources management and other sectors. This note provides an overview and application cases of one of such methodologies, that is, Robust Decision Making Framework. Authors argue that the use of methodologies provided in Decision Making under Deep Uncertainty should be considered, as appropriate, when planning or assessing climate change adaptation measures in Japan.
