AssetAdapt+ for Capital Project Delivery: Envision® Sustainable Infrastructure Framework and the PIEVC Protocol

Communities throughout Canada are grappling with aging infrastructure, a pressing housing crisis, and rising climate change risks, all driving an urgent need for comprehensive capital infrastructure investment. As communities upgrade and build new infrastructure, such as roads, bridges, water treatment plants, and parks, residents and funders alike are pushing for sustainable and climate-resilient projects that can support thriving communities.

By leveraging two industry-leading tools – the Public Infrastructure Engineering Vulnerability Committee (PIEVC) Protocol and the Envision® Sustainable Infrastructure Framework – the AssetAdapt+ initiative aims to empower communities to utilize these tools to plan and execute capital infrastructure projects that embed sustainability and climate resilience outcomes.

This webinar will offer an introduction to the PIEVC protocol and the Envision framework and will provide information on the recently launched AssetAdapt+ cohort (funded by the FCM*) for municipalities interested in still joining this unique opportunity to engage in more in-depth training and peer collaboration. Together, cohort participants will develop knowledge of these tools, and work to incorporate climate adaptation and sustainability measures within one of their upcoming capital projects. Cohort activities and projects will help communities align their capital applications with key funding sources, including the FCM Green Municipal Fund.
