Tools and strategies for climate change decision making

摘要

The world faces key decisions on how to mitigate or adapt to climate change under uncertainty and under extreme and non-stationary weather events (hurricanes, droughts, flooding, etc.). Questions loom regarding how to improve decision-making processes regarding the integration of variable and intermittent renewables; the role of energy generation, transmission, and storage; the use of unconventional resources; and the consequences of large-scale adoption of novel technologies. Governments, industries, and researches must grapple with issues relating to the ecological, economic, and societal implications of adaptations that may be made to climate change.
