This thesis is articulated in three independent chapters. The red thread which connects these three papers is the focus on the relationship between environmental policy, individual decisions and time. The notions of time explored in this thesis span from considering i) time as a socio-cultural attitude -with certain nations being more future-focused than others-; ii) time as an individual preference that classify individuals as either impatient or forward-looking; and iii) time as the embedded, yet hidden contextual feature of environmental decision-making and policies.

Individuals have a tendency to forego immediate costs, especially if those costs are justified by an intangible and temporally distant goal.
