On August 25, 2022, Ernesto Rodriguez-Sanchez, adaptation and resilience consultant, participated in the first webinar of a series on the PIEVC Protocol organized by the Climate Risk Institute (CRI), Institute for Catastrophic Loss Reduction (ICLR), in partnership with the German International Development Cooperation Agency (GIZ). This first webinar allowed attendees to learn about the Climate Services Improvement for Infrastructure Investments (CSI) project and to launch a global network of CSIP practitioners.
The following key points emerged from the webinar:
The PIEVC, a climate risk management tool, is part of the CSI Climate Data Services ecosystem. This approach has proven to be effective in facilitating conversation among a country’s infrastructure project managers while building capacity at the local level towards building more resilient infrastructure and climate-resilient investments.
CCG congratulates this strategic partnership between CRI, ICLR and GIZ that leverages Canada’s global expertise in climate action to advance systems thinking in infrastructure resilience decision-making.
