Classes of tools  include Bayesian methods, interval methods, decision-making under deep uncertainty , cost-benefit analyses, multi-criteria decision analysis, elicitation and general decision support tools . A summary guide for policy analysts and decision makers is presented in Table 17.4 to help identify the classes of decision-analytic methods that may be suitable for their context for managing climate risks. The table summarises how well the methods address the Cynefin context, the phase of decision- making, the types of uncertainties that exist through the decision- making process and the resources required. As terminology may vary between disciplines and research groups, suitable references to better explain the methods within the class are provided. Also, there may be overlap between the classes as individual methods are often paired with other methods to address specific requirements and approaches . In that respect, these methods are referred to in the next section discussing advances in the different approaches to managing climate risks.
