Planning and implementing measures for adaptation to climate change poses challenges to decision makers already today. In recent years so-called decision support tools have been developed in order to support decision makers to cope with the complexity of climate change decision making contexts and thus facilitate adaptation planning processes. This report aimed at revealing if decision support tools are actually able to assist decisions in the context of climate change adaptation and what requirements they have to meet in order to be effectively applied. Therefore an already existing webbased and guideline-oriented tool addressing people in the Baltic Sea region was investigated: the socalled ‘BalticClimate Toolkit’ Report 19: Decision Support Tools as Instruments to facilitate Climate Change Adaptation - The case of the BalticClimate Toolkit for adaptation in the German Baltic Sea region
