A range of different traditional economic decision support tools can be used to help guide resource allocation in relation to climate change adaptation  , with a strong focus on monetary values and the present and near-term. There are also tools to assess uncertainty  and to guide decision making under uncertainty over longer time frames . Use of these tools nevertheless requires human capital and skills, and more commonly they are applied to public rather than private  adaptation decision processes. Tools grounded in economics can lack sufficient consideration of which groups in society might gain and lose out from particular options , neglecting to appreciate non-monetary factors  which are non-economic, less tangible and harder to put a value on .
