Abstract:
In the current era, recognized by some as the Anthropocene, consequences from climate change are affecting ecosystems, societies and economies; making it vital to enact adaptation measures to manage impacts that cannot be avoided. Significant resources and attention have been invested to improve climate knowledge and its communication on a global level, which is essential for adaptation. However, some facility with prospection, or future thinking is also needed to plan for uncertain and future-oriented risks. Future thinking is a cognitive task initiated by individuals who may be engaged in pl

Abstract:
Climate change is a focus of policy debate throughout the world, including international forums a such as United Nations. Despite the great attention given to climate change, little in the way of collective international policy has been forthcoming. This thesis provides a game theoretic analysis of the current lack of international policy. No effective policy is apt to emerge unless everyone comes together to make drastic reforms to policies that affect climate change across the world.

Recent climate changes show that the historical record is not an appropriate analog for future climate conditions.

This dissertation develops multivariate statistical models for seasonal forecasting and downscaling of climate variables. In the case of seasonal climate forecasting, where record lengths are typically short and signal-to-noise ratios are low, particularly at long lead-times, forecast models must be robust against noise. To this end, two models are developed. Robust nonlinear canonical correlation analysis, which introduces robust cost functions to an existing model architecture, is outlined in Chapter 2.

Abstract:
Le changement climatique a diverses conséquences sur la société, mais les changements futurs sont incertains et un gouffre subsiste entre les connaissances scientifiques et l’action sociétale (atténuation, adaptation). L’écart en adaptation a été comblé en partie par l’essor récent des services climatiques, mais leur utilisation à l’échelle locale est liée à de nombreux obstacles. La France est un exemple de manque d’adaptation climatique au niveau territorial, et cette thèse se concentre sur le Golfe du Morbihan comme cas d’étude. Ma recherche vise premièrement à identifier le rôle local du c

Abstract:
Le climatère reste actuellement un terrain en friche qui n’a pas encore suscité l’intérêt qu’il mérite. Une recherche nourrie par un travail basée sur la clinique est nécessaire. Le propos de cette thèse est d’explorer la manière dont les femmes libanaises abordent, traversent et sortent de cette phase de leur vie c’est à dire comment chacune à sa manière négocie le climatère. D’emblée il a fallu élargir le champ du climatère en l’affranchissant du moment biologique que constitue la ménopause. En effet, la «crise du milieu de la vie » anticipe le climatère et en constitue le facteur déclenchan

Abstract:
This paper examines the relation between climate change discourse and freedom which is held both as a self-evident value and a vital attribute for modern democracy. I argue that the discourse refutes individual freedom. It does so both through the goals and ends it promotes as well as the solutions it puts forward to achieve them, in other words through means, in the areas of economy, rights and political organization which reduce choices and diminish space of action for individuals. It opens the path to authoritarian regimes and the like by disempowering people in the name of natural order. T

Abstract:
In my thesis, I address two important issues: (i) the creation of a price signal through the use of carbon markets (or cap-and-trade schemes) and (ii) the necessity to reach a global agreement on greenhouse gas emission reduction policies. It consists of three separate papers. Chapters 2 and 3 of this thesis emphasize theoretically and empirically the fact that achieving international cooperation on climate change is very difficult. Chapter 3 suggests that the global nature of the climate change problem and the design of climate agreements (i.e. the means available to reduce CO2 emissions) may
