| Abstract | ||||
| This paper shows how participatory Multi-Criteria Analysis can be successfully used to prioritize potential adaptation measures to climate change. Participatory planning workshops with broad participation of key stakeholders were held to discuss the set of un-prioritized adaptation measures, to solicit input on project priorities based on proposed evaluation criteria. A Multi-Criteria Analysis ranking matrix was used with weighted scores and ranking with great importance attached to some of the criteria as proposed by the participants. In this way, the participants were able – based on 'objective' not 'subjective' selection – to come to shortlists containing the priority climate change adaptation measures for the vulnerable sectors under consideration. | ||||
