The Resilience Pathway Visualisation Tool (RPVT) provides a user-friendly graphical interface to create and visualize resilience pathways. It allows users to select, prioritize, and sequence different possible measures over time, which can be deployed as circumstances evolve. Measures can be selected and prioritized according to various performance metrics, primarily addressing floods and heatwaves, but also earthquakes and drought/water scarcity.
Implementation requires support of tool developers and/or consultants. It could be implemented by cities on their own, if they have previous knowledge of adaptation pathways.
The aim of the RPVT is to support the resilience pathway development to city administrators, heritage managers and/or decision makers in the context of historic, urban or agriculture areas.
Logroño has used it in preparation for the 3rd workshop on resilience pathways together with the Adaptation Pathway generator.
The main benefit of this tool is that it offers the ability to accommodate various future scenarios, enhancing adaptability to climate change. Moreover, these pathways can rely on evidence, ensuring robust planning, and they facilitate the consideration of diverse actions and their optimal sequence to address challenges or risks.
Additionally, this approach provides flexibility and time for strategic planning, alleviating the immediate pressure of decision-making.
It may vary on initial knowledge around adaptation/resilience pathways, but it may range from a week to several weeks.
The tool can be utilized in the following Triple-A phase:
