“…The tool used for the MCDM is the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS). Developed in the 1980s by Yoon and Hwang and further refined in 1995, this method [21] has proven successful in managing complex decision making with objectivity and transparency across a variety of areas, including environmental management, sustainable development, energy sustainability assessments, mega projects, and supply chain logistics, as well as smaller-size initiatives, such as sustainable hotel construction, and sector-specific solutions, such as reducing the carbon footprint of Brazilian beef exports [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29]. According to TOPSIS, the best alternative is the one geometrically closest to the positive ideal solution and the farthest away from the negative ideal solution.…”

Although Australia remains committed to the Paris Agreement and to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions, it was late in joining the 2021 Global Methane Pledge. Finding suitable methane (CH4) mitigation solutions for Australia’s livestock industry should be part of this journey. Based on a 2020–2023 systematic literature review and multicriteria decision approach, this study analyses the available strategies for the Australian beef and dairy sector under three scenarios: baseline, where all assessment criteria are equally weighted; climate emergency, with a significant emphasis on CH4 reduction for cattle in pasture and feedlot systems; and conservative, where priority is given to reducing costs. In total, 46 strategies from 27 academic publications were identified and classified as ‘Avoid’, ‘Shift’, or ‘Improve’ with respect to their impact on current CH4 emissions. The findings indicate that ‘Avoid’ strategies of conversion of agricultural land to wetlands, salt marshes, and tidal forest are most efficient in the climate emergency scenario, while the ‘Improve’ strategy of including CH4 production in the cattle breeding goals is the best for the conservative and baseline scenarios. A policy mix that encourages a wide range of strategies is required to ensure CH4 emission reductions and make Australia’s livestock industry more sustainable.

“…Following cluster analysis, we employed APOLLO, a group decisionmaking and consensus analysis tool based on the 2-tuple TOPSIS MCDA methodology [93,94]. Note that we select TOPSIS for reasons additional to its integration with consensus analysis, including its firm establishment in the energy and climate policy domain [95][96][97] and a solid mathematical background that is based on Euclidean distances [98], thereby retaining comparability with the hierrarchical cluster analysis.…”

“…From a scientific standpoint, IAMs tend to overlook certain types of uncertainty and risks. This omission can greatly influence model outcomes, as well as raise difficulties for their implementation in real-life problems [19,20]. However, it can be addressed by incorporating experts' insights in a structured manner to identify overlooked factors or bridge knowledge gaps effectively [21].…”

We studied the significance of stakeholder engagement in climate change adaptation within the context of coastal resilience. Our approach aimed to enhance collaboration in environmental planning processes by leveraging modeling tools to facilitate learning about the complexity of the socioecological system. A comprehensive questionnaire survey was conducted using Google Forms. The questionnaire included clear instructions and structured response formats, aiming to gather stakeholder perspectives on adaptation measures and define action thresholds in response to climate uncertainties. A total of 47 responses were received and included consulting firm professionals, freelance engineers, local authority professionals, port authority professionals, researchers, and university professors in the field of coastal management. The survey data were analyzed using statistical methods in SPSS to identify key insights and patterns. The survey findings offer valuable insights into the effectiveness of adaptation measures, threshold perceptions for initiating adaptation actions, and the dynamics of stakeholder perspectives. Therefore, the importance of incorporating diverse perspectives in climate change adaptation efforts is highlighted. As answers tend to vary for different stakeholder occupations, the urge for collaboration in future decision-making procedures is highlighted. By bridging the gap between stakeholder input and climate change adaptation measures, this study demonstrates the potential of participatory approaches in enhancing resilience and fostering sustainable development in coastal regions vulnerable to climate change.
