Foresight, an approach to explore the sensitivity of the territory to climate change

Abstract

To face climate change, mid-mountain territorial communities set up sectoral adaptations. This article presents a model of capitalization and linking of these adaptation practices (already tested or to be considered). This model makes it possible to move from a sectoral to an integrated and intelligent adaptation, aware of implications and synergies between several sectors of activities over a given territory. The model's concepts are presented in UML (Unified Modeling Language), a graphical modeling language used to design computer systems. From this, objective would be to use these concepts to build a web application dedicated to climate change adaptation practices, which could support governance of territorial communities. Conducted within the framework of the GICC-ONERC AdaMont (2015-2017) project, this operational aim may justify the setting up of new scientific and technical partnerships.
