Many guidelines for adaptation (e.g. EC, 2013; Brown et al., 2011; Lim et al., 2004) mention the use of different sets of criteria for assessing and prioritising adaptation options. For example, based on literature review, Vetter and Schauser (2013) have distinguished the following five key criteria for prioritization: importance, urgency, absence of negative side-effects, no-regret1, and flexibility. It remains unclear whether expert judgments are applying these criteria explicitly or are mainly based on subjective judgement with regard to the related fields of action. For the latter, often detailed information for a more in-depth analysis of adaptation options along these criteria is missing.

    ...Vetter and Schauser (2013) have distinguished the following five key criteria for prioritization: importance, urgency, absence of negative side-effects, no-regret, and flexibility...: On this basis a prioriziation concept has been developed, which is foreseen to be applied in the progress report.
