Decision Support Systems (DSS) play a critical role in climate adaptation by providing tools to guide decision-making processes. However, most existing DSS primarily focus on delivering scientific information, often reflecting a scientism-driven and enlightenment-oriented perspective that assumes knowledge dissemination alone will lead to optimal decisions. This approach must frequently pay more attention to decision-makers diversity, contexts, and the participatory mechanisms necessary to incorporate local knowledge and values. As a result, DSS in climate adaptation often fails to bridge the gap between scientific expertise and the lived realities of citizens and stakeholders.

Through a comprehensive evaluation framework, this study examines citizen and stakeholder knowledge integration within climate adaptation platforms and DSS. The research begins by questioning what constitutes a “decision” in climate adaptation, who the decision-makers are, and how decisions are made. By addressing these foundational questions, the study highlights the limitations of current DSS, which are primarily information-centric and explores their implications for participatory governance.

Through systematic classification and mapping of over 50 global and domestic climate adaptation platforms and DSS, this research evaluates their functionality based on interactivity, accessibility, contextual relevance, and capacity for fostering collaboration. The study also emphasizes the role of participatory tools, citizen science, and co-creation practices in transforming DSS from mere data providers into platforms for collaborative decision-making.
