Description
The PIEVC program comprises of a family of resources for climate risk and vulnerability assessments of infrastructure specifically designed for the needs of infrastructure practitioners that
– can be used for anything, from 1 single component of an infrastructure to an entire asset portfolio.
– can be used at any stage of the infrastructure lifecycle.
– use a threshold-based, component-by-component & participatory approach
– are ISO31000 and 14090 compliant
– Available resources (i.a.): PIEVC Protocol, PIEVC Large Portfolio Screening Manual, PIEVC Green as well as trainings on the tool
Tool Outcome
As a climate risk and vulnerability assessment the PIEVC allows to identify the “weakest link” in infrastructure assets and portfolios in view of climate change as necessary step for identifying and prioritising adaptation options.
Sustainability Criteria
- climate risk and vulnerability
- interaction of infrastructures with social-ecological systems
