How Tribes are PLANNING for climate change

A growing body of literature on Tribal Nations and Indigenous peoples continues to delve into specific issues related to climate change, including adaptation and mitigation strategies that are rooted in each community's own traditional knowledges and values (Norton et. al. 2016). This page provides links to specific examples of Tribal adaptation planning initiatives from across Turtle Island and also planning initiatives with assistance from the NICRN.

tribal Adaptation Planning Lead by the
Northeast indigenous climate resilience network

The Northeast Indigenous Climate Resilience Network offers a wide range of assistance for Tribes that are looking to work on planning for climate change. This includes day or half day climate change scenario planning workshops that use the Menominee Nation's sustainable development model, creation of localized climate change profiles that outline what is happening regarding climate change on a Tribe's land, presentations by climate scientists from the Northeast Climate Adaptation Science Center that lay a foundation of western scientific knowledge that Tribes can then braid with their own Indigenous knowledge regarding what is occurring with climate change in their region.
