Status of the Guidance on dealing with and communicating climate and climate change uncertainties in support of adaptation decision-making

One of the main goals of the Joint Initiative on Climate Uncertainties is to publish a Guide on how to deal with uncertainty in adaptation decision-making (including policy-making) that is able to provide practical case-study examples where dealing with uncertainties was successfully accounted for (or identified but failed).

In order to achieve this goal various requests were sent out calling for the submission of case-studies. So far, 16 case- studies have been received.

To get to know:

- How many case-studies per country were selected?

- What are the sectors signalled in case-studies?

- What methods were used to deal with uncertainties?

- What types of decision makers were involved?
