Summary The objective of this project is to conduct a high-level climate change vulnerability assessment of all GNWT- and community-owned infrastructure located within or associated with NWT communities using the Public Infrastructure Engineering Vulnerability Committee (PIEVC) Protocol. The specific objectives of the assessment are to: ─ Review the available documentation regarding the infrastructure, historical climate and projected climate trends across NWT; ─ Identify changes in climate that can affect the various types of infrastructure; ─ Identify infrastructure that is vulnerable to extreme weather events or to significant changes in climatic conditions; ─ Assess risk associated with potential climate change/infrastructure interactions; ─ Develop adaptation and mitigation measures for existing infrastructure, including maintenance and inspection procedures as well as construction and siting practices; ─ Provide recommendations for future work
Local Relevance The report provides a desktop assessment of the climate change vulnerability of infrasturucture in the NWT owned by communities and the Government of Northwest Territories using the Public Infrastructure Engineering Vulnerability Commitee (PIEVC) Protocol.
