“…It is obviously preferable to identify as much of the potential harmful processes and outcomes in advance and this could be done with established methods such as strategic/ environmental assessments, trade-off analyses, scenario and backcasting analyses, cost-benefit analyses, multi-criteria analysis adopted to adaptation context (see, e.g. [40][41][42][43][44]) that show promising results. The ex-ante assessments are, however, not always possible nor meaningful.…”

Implementation of national adaptation policy is advancing. There also appears to be a shift, albeit slow, from monitoring of implementation to evaluation of outcomes of the policy. However, there is an absence of an agreed definition or metrics to indicate when national level implementation fails or goes wrong. The concept of maladaptation remains elusively defined in the adaptation policy sphere but is often evoked in national adaptation plans. Empirical research on maladaptation related to national adaptation policies is lacking, despite claims of it increasingly taking place. This review discusses whether maladaptation should be operationalised as a concept in national adaptation policy, how it would be done and what could it take to make it happen. The paper argues that unless failure of adaptation policy is considered, understanding the adaptation gap, for example, becomes even more challenging.

Climate change adaptation options need to be prioritized so that decision-makers make the appropriate choice among multiple options using decision analysis methods. Although different decision analysis methods are applied in different sectors, the status and challenges of applying the methods in various sectors have not been investigated to date because this is a rapidly developing research field. We systematically reviewed the decision analysis literature in climate change adaptation to investigate how decision analysis methods have been applied in each sector and to identify ongoing challenges. We found that most articles focused on the agriculture, water resources, coastal disaster, and river flooding subsectors, whereas no articles were found in the poverty, settlement, and wellbeing subsectors. The applications of decision analysis methods that can account for the deep uncertainty of adaptation (the Deep Uncertainty group) comprised about 15% of the total, and they were concentrated in the water resources and disaster-related subsectors. In the poverty, settlement, and wellbeing subsectors, it can be inferred that academic articles are scarce because it is challenging to study climate change projections due to the strong impact of socioeconomic conditions, and because the actors are often reported at the local or individual levels. Although the sectors where climate change impact projections have been developed may have led to a relatively large proportion of applications of the Deep Uncertainty group, the small number of applications suggests inadequate consideration of uncertainty in all sectors. In the future, it will be crucial for each sector to develop methods to evaluate deep uncertainty; these include using applications in the Deep Uncertainty group and combining multiple decision analysis methods.
