• First- and second-order adaptation to natural hazards and extreme events in the context of climate change (2011, background): “In addition, the complexity of climate change and the uncertainty of how climate change impacts will develop within the near future (see, e.g., Dessai et al. 2009 ) as well as how socio-economic trends will develop also constrain the chances of successful adaptation or require at least that adaptat”
• The Right Stuff? Informing Adaptation to Climate Change in British Local Government (2015, neutral): “For this vulnerability assessments of critical thresholds and costs of near-term strategies are more relevant than probabilistic futures of the climate in 2080s (Dessai et al., 2009).”
• Improving the contribution of climate model information to decision making: the value and demands of robust decision frameworks (2013, background): “The first phase of an RDM analysis structures the problem by (1) defining the key performance metrics an organization should use to judge the success of alternative strategies, (2) articulating a set of such strategies that might achieve these objectives, (3) identifying potentially significant unce”
• Challenges in Combining Projections from Multiple Climate Models (2010, background): “The idea of robust decision making (Lempert and Schlesinger 2000; Dessai et al. 2009) requires sampling of a broad range of outcomes, and precipitation is a good example where such concepts are likely to be more useful than model averages.”
• Robust adaptation to climate change (2010, background): “Another concern is that high resolution downscaling can be misconstrued as accurate downscaling (Dessai et al., 2009).”
