| Abstract | Use General Circulation Models' output to validate their ability of reproducing "extreme climate indicators" (accounting for their coarse scale) and to analyze the projected changes in these indicators, under different SRES scenarios of future anthropogenic emissions. |

| "Because the pathway to sustainability cannot be
charted in advance, it will have to be navigated through trial and error and conscious experimentation. The urgent need is to
design strategies and institutions that can better integrate incomplete knowledge with experimental action into programs of
adaptive management and social learning." |
