Abstract: Abstract ‘Climate Change’ is a term used to refer to global changes in the Earth's average temperature and the consequences of changes in temperature. More clearly, it demonstrates changes in temperature and weather patterns over time. The emergence of this situation directly or indirectly affects irreparable damages and major/minor disasters in many areas. Determining the answer to the question of which of these areas has an impact at what level of importance will provide guidance on which one should be prioritized in carrying out an effective treatment. Therefore, in this study, this problem is ad-dressed as a multi-criteria decision problem using Bayesian Best–Worst Method. The potential impacts have been categorized under 8 main areas and weighted via participating of 8 competent experts (geography, emergency disaster management, geomorphologist, climate scientist etc.) in the field of climate change. The study results determined that B (Ecosystems and Water Resources) has the most critical impact area, with 0.200. The least essential domain is G4 (Adaptation and Resilience Strategies in the Tourism Industry), which weighs 0.012. The results showed that they provide important clues regarding which impacts should be addressed first.
