Infrastructure Modules

Manitoba Climate Resilience Training

Building on your foundational understanding of climate change, the infrastructure modules take a deep dive into various methods of engagement, training, and knowledge mobilization to enable engineers and other infrastructure decision-makers to integrate climate resiliency into their designs and practice.

PIEVC Risk Assessment

Infrastructure Climate Risk Assessment – featuring the PIEVC Process

Understanding climate risks to infrastructure is a key first step in adapting to a changing climate. Infrastructure designers, managers, operators and decision makers must assess climate vulnerabilities and risks and identify actions and priorities to ensure our infrastructure is resilient. Using Manitoba-themed example projects and case studies, and focusing on the PIEVC risk assessment process, this course will outline the main steps on conducting a climate change risk/resilience assessment on infrastructure systems.

Codes, Standards, and Regulations

An Introduction to Climate Change through Codes, Standards, and Regulations 

We now know that a stable, reliable climate system is no longer something that can be counted on. Learn how codes, standards, and regulations are changing to ensure that our new infrastructure is best prepared for climate changes now and in the future.

Nature-Based Infrastructure

Nature-Based Infrastructure Solutions to Enhance Resilience 

Natural infrastructure is becoming a mainstream option for enhancing the resilience of built infrastructure and communities. In Canada, a diverse range of natural infrastructure solutions have been used to address climate change hazards, including wetlands and riparian buffers to address riverine flooding; permeable pavement and retention ponds to improve urban and rural stormwater management; and green roofs and trees to increase resilience to extreme heat in cities. This course will provide a basic understanding using sustainable/natural infrastructure/innovative solutions to build resilience to climate change.
