Résumé

L'adaptation aux inondations deviendra bientôt une nécessité pour plusieurs communautés côtières canadiennes menacées par les changements climatiques. Certaines compétences humaines peuvent faciliter l'adaptation. La recherche visait à décrire les compétences démontrées par des employés municipaux durant l'adaptation à l'élévation du niveau de la mer. Les participants aux ateliers ont exploré le problème, proposé des solutions et implanté des mesures d'adaptation. L'analyse des verbatim des ateliers et la construction de récits de pratique ont permis l'identification de compétences propices à l'adaptation : résolution de problèmes, pensée prospective, prédiction des risques, analyse de la vulnérabilité et de la capacité communautaire d'adaptation, connaissance du milieu, planification stratégique et communication.
