Since the climate change issue is a multidimensional problem, decision-making in climate change adaptation is a complex process. In this paper, we analyze the advantages and disadvantages of three main group of decision-support tools, namely Expert preference, Monetary valuation, and Multi-criteria analysis (MCA). The paper recommends MCA in general and AHP in particular as effective tools to compensate for the disadvantages of other techniques as well as to overcome the challenges and requirements from the climate change adaptation decision-making process. Keywords: climate change, AHP, MCA, monetary valuation, expert preference 1 Introduction The twenty-first session of the Conference of the Parties (COP22) that took place from 07 to 18 November 2016, in Marrakesh, Morocco has confirmed again the agreement from nearly 200 countries on the climate change (CC) issues in COP21. This agreement proved that climate change is still not a “heated topic of debate” [23] but now became a real risk for whole humanity. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), climate change refers to ‘any change in climate over time, whether due to natural variability or as a result of human activity’ [12, p. 871].
