ABSTRACT={Recurrent flooding in Quebec has revealed the limits of a fragmented and reactive risk management approach. To address these challenges, the ARIAction team developed RésiliAction, an integrated tool for assessing territorial resilience. Based on cross-mapping of hazards and various dimensions of vulnerability to use a risk analysis, it enables the evaluation, prioritization, and justification of land-use projects according to their capacity for resilient adaptation. Developed through co-construction with ministries and municipalities, the tool is built on thirteen criteria and eight resilience orientations encompassing social, environmental, economic, and institutional dimensions. In the municipality of Maria, it was used with a risk analysis and to assess the resilience score of the proposed land-use scenario in the face of coastal hazards. RésiliAction has proven to be an operational and equitable lever for supporting the transition toward sustainable and climate-adaptive planning. Its multi-scale scope and compatibility with the new regulatory framework make it a strategic instrument for strengthening the resilience of Quebec’s territories.}}
