16 Municipal Asset Management Program 16

17 Areas of focus 17

18 Green Municipal Fund (GMF) Funding for: Plans, feasibility studies and pilot projects Capital projects Sectors: energy, transportation, waste, water, brownfields 18

19 Municipalities for Climate Innovation Program Goal: Accelerated transition to low carbon (mitigation) and resilient (adaptation) communities in Canada How we get there: (1) By building awareness and increasing skills of municipalities in: (a) climate change mitigation, (b) adaptation and (c) integration of climate change and asset management (2) By providing funding to municipalities of various sizes across Canada reduce GHG emissions or reduce in vulnerability to climate change impacts (3) By mobilizing key lessons from FCM activities and other organizations

20 MCIP Funding Direct funding Plans Feasibility studies Operational studies Demonstration projects Staff salary support Consortia/Cohorts Transition 2050 PCP Regional Facilitators (CEA)

21 MCIP: Plans & studies, and demonstration projects Mitigation stream Plans GHG emission reduction and community energy plans Transportation and land use plans Studies, examples Energy: building retrofits Water & wastewater: improved efficiency of treatment plants Solid waste: LFG capture Transportation: municipal fleet study Community initiatives: residential energy retrofits Demonstration projects Adaptation stream Plans Climate change adaptation plans Studies, examples Extreme temperature: impact on municipal assets Flooding and drought: nearshore buffer areas Wind events: building design Community initiatives: overland flooding / drought Demonstration projects

22 GMF and MCIP Comparison Focus of GMF Overall sustainability For mitigation projects: Reduction in energy consumption (instead of GHG for energy projects) Innovation New or existing infrastructure Focus of MCIP Climate change mitigation, adaptation and integration of climate risks into asset management For mitigation projects: GHG emission reductions Existing emissions (only retrofits site or neighbourhood scale) For adaptation projects: Adapting infrastructure to specified climate change risks

23 GMF and MCIP Comparison
