Abstract: Climate change studies rarely yield consensus on the probability distribution of exposure, vulnerability, or possible outcomes, and therefore the evaluation of alternative policy strategies is difficult. This Perspective highlights the importance of decision-making tools designed for situations where generally agreed-upon probability distributions are not available and stakeholders show different degrees of risk tolerance.
