Abstract

Managing the risks of anthropogenic climate change is a societal process that has to deal with a long term complex issue under conditions of high and partly irreducible uncertainties and multiple value orientations of the many national and international stakeholders. Integrated Assessment (IA) is emerging as an approach that is suitable for accommodating the uncertainties, complexities, and value diversities of issues such as climate change (Sors et al., 1997). The IA process overlaps with the policy development process. Until recently the label IA was often used to refer to Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) only. Nowadays it is widely recognized that IAM is not a complete IA methodology, it is a set of tools used in a broader assessment process.
