California Tribes are already facing air quality challenges caused by climate change impacts such as extreme heat and wildfire smoke. Building resilience to these impacts requires sustained investment in climate change research and science to inform appropriate actions. Through California’s Fifth Climate Change Assessment and Tribal Research Program, the State is supporting tribally led climate change research initiatives to address this critical need and further support the work already underway in tribal communities.
Building on lessons from California’s Fourth Climate Change Assessment, this program advances culturally appropriate, Indigenous-led climate solutions.
This panel will highlight tribal collaboration on the Fifth Assessment with speakers representing the Tribal Research Program’s Tribal Advisory Group, Tribal Research Grant Program grantees, and authors of the Tribal and Indigenous Communities Summary Report. Panelists will discuss ongoing tribal climate projects and invite participant feedback to inform ongoing efforts to uplift indigenous knowledges in the State’s climate research portfolio.
