“…MCA involves a participatory approach which is a bottom-up method that addresses vulnerability and risk management by considering adaptive capacity and adaptation measures, but it solely cannot ensure the applicability and certainty of the prioritized options. Cornwell et al, [32] suggest to define adaptation within basic three questions: what to adapt, how to adapt and who adapts and it must be inclusive of the following four qualities: effectiveness, efficiency, transparency (in terms of costs and benefits) and legitimacy [32]. To achieve this, multiple literatures found that simultaneous coordination between scientific groups, researchers and technical experts with the concerned stakeholders play a vital role in formulating relevant adaptation options rather than just involving DMs and stakeholders [7, 18,21,39].…”

“…Various methods of MCA have been applied in agricultural sector like AHP, TOPSIS, Fuzzy and combination of those methods can also be seen in multiple research articles [35]. The application of MCA in the water management sector is enormously found in the literatures where MCA (n=16) [4,5,12,18,[21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32] Fuzzy DMT, MCA(n=1) [41] AHP, MCA…”

Climate change adaptation (CCA) is an emerging topic in recent years since global temperature is continuing to rise and posing threats to natural biodiversity and human life. Its diverse nature requires efforts from a broad range of sectors to cope or adjust. This review paper aims to systematically study the cross-sectoral approaches in CCA decision making and develop probable strengths and shortcomings of those approaches. Literatures concerned with Multi-Criteria Decision-Making Method, or Multi-Criteria Analysis (MCA) are reviewed since it is considered as a holistic approach to integrate multiple sectors and combine monetary and non-monetary terms prevailing in sectoral and regional aspects, mainly in agriculture and water resource management. The literatures were searched through Scopus and PRISMA method was adopted to systematically refine the published articles based on our criteria. Out of 383 articles discovered, 139 were related to CCA out of which, 33 articles which applied MCA as their methodological approach were shortlisted for the core study. The result showed that MCA is extensively used in CCA decision making, prioritizing options, and formulating adaptation strategies at local and regional scale and considered as a flexible, transparent, and effective method because of an active engagement of stakeholders and experts’ judgement. But its inability to address the underlying uncertainties of climate change scenario is one of the major drawbacks seen. Thus, many literatures suggest incorporating Sensitivity analysis, Dynamic Adaptive Pathways, Real Option Analysis, or Robust Decision-Making Analysis with MCA to overcome those deep uncertainties.

To cope with the impacts of shifts in food consumption patterns required to reduce environmental problems, farmers will have to adapt at farm level. We explore farmers’ intentions and preferred options to adapt in the metropolitan region of Vienna, Austria, in response to changed food demand among the Viennese population. In doing so, we consider changed food consumption patterns for (1) regional food, (2) organic food, and (3) meat in several scenarios. By applying the contingent behavior method to farmers in a survey, we assess farm adaptations with respect to production orientation (crop and livestock production patterns) and production mode (conventional or organic). The results show that, depending on the farm type, farmers tend to make specific contextual adaptations in production orientation. Accordingly, less specialized farmers are more likely to employ transformative adaptations. Most farmers who adapt production orientation, however, tend to employ incremental adaptations, i.e., extensions of what is already done. A logit model indicates that, among changed food consumption patterns, increasing regional food consumption is the most influential factor in farmers’ decision to adapt production orientation. Different adaptation paths were generated demonstrating the need for coordinated policy measures that consider the diversity of the different farm types to further encourage farm adaptations and reduce environmental risks associated with modern farming.
