- Abstract
In areas subject to natural risks, the natural risk prevention plan (PPRN) must participate in adaptation to climate change. The PPRN developed in 2011 in the French part of the island of Saint-Martin had little effect. The urbanization of the coast has continued and the vulnerability of the territory with it. Following the major hurricane Irma of September 2017, the authorities launched the revision of the cyclonic component of the PPRN. This article aims to explain how the PPRN is both experienced as a brake or a catalyst for adaptation to climate change in the case of an island territory depending on the way in which the tool is developed and the actors understand and 'appropriate the tool.
