Overview of MVP 2.0 Scope of Work Cities, towns, and Tribes throughout Massachusetts are identifying climate vulnerabilities and investing in community resilience. The MVP 2.0 program, run by the Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs, expands on the work communities have done to date and supports communities with new methods, tools, and resources for building climate resilience. MVP 2.0 is a way for grantees to revisit their community resilience priorities with a focus on equity and translate those priorities into action through project development and implementation. The Planning vendor will support the Grantee in revisiting their community resilience priorities with a focus on equity and translating those priorities into action through project development and implementation. The MVP 2.0 program does this through: • Convening a community team to lead equitable climate resilience work; • Providing training on strategies for building climate resilience, equity, and climate justice; • Revisiting resilience priorities with the involvement of the wider community and a stronger assessment of social vulnerability and resilience; • Helping the municipality and community to co-develop and implement a project that builds community resilience, with guaranteed funding for implementation; and • Providing a process that can be replicated for future, competitive MVP Action Grants.
