Abstract
As developing countries frequently face limited financial resources for adaptation, the selection of respective measures and their ranking for implementation are critical processes to achieve the most from the invested means. This chapter provides an overview of a tool which pretends to help decision making related to adaptation in the forestry sector, but that could be adapted for the agriculture sector.
