Decision makers will be better able to choose decision-analytic methods when they have an understanding of the types, scale and breadth of uncertainties around the climate risk  . The Cynefin framework  is a policy-driven framework that broadly categorises the decision context of uncertainty within which decision makers and policy analysts may find themselves  . As Cynefin has helped frame previous IPCC presentations on contexts of uncertainty  and has a community of practice to consult on its use , it is used here, also because it considers the uncertainty in knowledge around cause and effect in general terms, rather than specifically focusing on uncertainty in formal models. Helmrich and Chester  show how Cynefin can be used to frame climate adaptation decision-making in the infrastructure sector.
