Last week the CA LCC and many partners came together to engage Tribes in climate adaptation planning. Participants learned about identifying current and future impacts of climate change on tribal natural resources, ways to assess tribal-specific vulnerabilities, and develop adaptation strategies.
If you didn't attend the workshop, materials and related resources are available online:
- Executive Summary of the Workshop (file unavailable)
- Tribal Climate Adaptation Planning Toolkit - developed by the Institute for Tribal Environmental Professionals (ITEP) to assest Tribes climate adaptation planning process.
- Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) Resources - developed by CA LCC to help non-Tribal natural resource managers and scientists understand Tribal history in California and proper methods of engagement with TEK.
The CA LCC Tribal Team will continue to bridge climate adaptation, Traditional Ecological Knowledge, and landscape-scale conservation efforts between Tribes, non-tribal government, and organizations.
