Les trames vertes urbaines ont le potentiel pour repondre a ce double defi. Cependant, ces objets complexes associant climat, ville et nature sont situes a la frontiere entre plusieurs disciplines ; leur comprehension semble donc necessiter des recherches interdisciplinaires associant, entre autres, climat, ecologie, sociologie, geographie et politique. Parce que l’interdisciplinarite est une demarche complexe, cet article explore les contributions d’une demarche de reflexivite ecrite et dialogique pour la mise en oeuvre de cooperations interdisciplinaires. Cette reflexivite double, sous la forme de ‘presentations standardisees’, de ‘cahiers du participant’, et de discussions entre les acteurs concernes, semble en effet : (1) faciliter la mise en lumiere et la discussion de divergences au niveau des approches disciplinaires, des interets individuels, et des objectifs du projet, et (2) encourager les attitudes d’ouverture, de reciprocite et de cooperation, et l’acceptation par les participants de la pluralite et de la complexite inherentes a la problematique des trames vertes et des changements climatiques.

It argues that whilst the Project found significant success in nurturing a comprehensive understanding of the issues, and participants reported the post-normal science approach as holding significant promise, there were barriers to giving effect to this perspective. As such, study site respondents reported variable success in affecting coastal governance outcomes; influencing collective deliberation and decisionmaking between coastal stakeholders across multiple institutional settings. It then concludes adressing two emergent themes with regard to the use of the deliberation tool in coastal contexts. The first relates to the role of issues in structuring deliberative decision-making within coastal environments. The second emergent theme is that of scenarios and the discussion explores the nature of scenarios and the key questions involved in choosing the drivers used to formulate scenarios.

There are also various injunctions to engage the local population in this decision-making process. How can municipalities co-construct an adaptive future with their citizens? This article critically describes a community-led foresight process, based on the mapping, analysis and interpretation of narratives of change. Based on empirical results, we explore and discuss the role past, present and future narratives may play in the process of outlining incremental scenarios and how these might enable the identification of pathways and hinge points. The role of design in supporting the process by proposing an innovative foresight workshop is also discussed. We then highlight how these narratives stimulated reflections through an art, design and science foresight experiment. Adaptation planning for climate change seeks to help human-environmental systems to adjust in response to actual or expected climatic stimuli so as to minimize damage caused by and to them and to exploit beneficial opportunities . In France, topdown national and European Union (EU) strategies have initially guided local climate policy and adaptation planning (Bertrand

It first aims to share these research results in order to demonstrate two general themes that emerge from our analysis and can help improve our understanding of community responses to environmental change broadly speaking. These themes are the continuity of environmental change and the legacy of colonialism. The goal is to demonstrate that comparisons across research sites are possible if an appropriate transdisciplinary framework is in place and also that environmental history is required to understand the past if we are to effectively tackle present conditions. Secondly, this paper offers reflections on the concepts of agency and adaptation and how the methodological divide between historians and social scientists can be further bridged to great benefit for all concerned.

Several approaches have been developed: the main ones being the "risk-based approach" -estimating how the probability of event occurrence correlates with climate change -and the "storyline approach" -evaluating the influence of climate change on thermodynamic processes leading to the event. In this article, we map the different ways to frame attribution used in a collection of 105 case studies from 5 BAMS (Bulletin of American Meteoro-1 Click here to download Manuscript Revision_AJ_20180412.tex Click here to view linked References logical Society) special issues on extreme events. In order to do so, we propose to define EEA, based on corpora of interviews conducted with researchers working in the field as follows: EEA is the ensemble of scientific ways to interpret the question "was this event influenced by climate change?" and answer it. In order to break down the subtleties of EEA, we decompose this initial question into three main problems a researcher has to deal with when framing an EEA case study. First, one needs to define the event of interest. Then, one has to propose a way to link the extreme event with climate change, and the subsequent level of conditioning to parameters of interest. Finally, one has to determine how to represent climate change. We provide a complete classification of BAMS case studies regarding those three problems.

This study takes the example of Greenland, considered one of the regions most impacted by climate change, and Inuit people, characterized as being highly adaptive to environmental change, to explore this question. The study is based on 10 years of anthropological participatory research in Uummannaq, Northwest Greenland, along with two fieldwork periods in October 2014 and April 2015, and a quantitative bibliometric analysis of the international literature on sea ice -a central subject of concern identified by Uummannaq community members during the fieldwork periods. Community members' perceptions of currently available scientific climate knowledge were also collected during the fieldwork. This was done to determine if community members consider available scientific knowledge salient and if it covers issues they consider relevant. The bibliomentric analysis of the sea ice literature provided additional insight into the degree to which scientific knowledge about climate change provides information relevant for the community. Our results contribute to the ongoing debate on the missing connections between community wordviews, cultural values, livelihood needs, interests and climate science. Our results show that more scientific research efforts should consider local-level needs in order to produce local-scale knowledge that is more salient, credible and legitimate for communities experiencing climate change. In Uummannaq, as in many Inuit communities with similar conditions, more research should be done on sea ice thickness in winter and in areas through which local populations travel. This paper supports the growing evidence that whenever possible, climate change research should focus on environmental features that matter to communities, at temporal and spatial scales relevant to them, in order to foster community adaptations to change. We recommend such research be connected to and co-constructed with local communities to ensure their needs and values are integrated into the research process and outputs.
