The resilience performance assessment (RPA) is an innovative solution allowing efficiency and balance between climate change adaptation in the full life cycle of infrastructure and territories. It was developed by bringing together scientific knowledge about climate changes, geography and infrastructures, as well as recent developments in data science and information technologies. To be efficient, RPA requires input data about climate (from satellites, meteorological stations, drones, sensors, etc.) as well as about the territory and infrastructures (location, types of subsystems and components, material used, etc.) for which vulnerability will be assessed. RPA provides a holistic approach combining visualization of both current and future impacts of climate change. It also brings vulnerability scoring of future and existing assets. This decision-making tool also allows the formulation of detailed physical and financial recommendations and a cost-benefit assessment to estimate the resilience performance of each project or policy aiming at improving resilience and a better share of risks between stakeholders.
