Tribal Climate Adaptation 101

In October 2022, the AK CASC Tribal Resilience Learning Network hosted a three-day  training that provided an introduction to planning for climate change impacts in Alaska. The purpose of the training was to support Tribal Climate Resilience Coordinators and Environmental Professionals that are beginning or new to climate change adaptation planning. Over three days, participants heard from climate scientists about how the climate is changing, learned about various approaches to climate adaptation, and were introduced to several adaptation strategies. This session provided an opportunity to work with and learn from other Alaska Tribes, climate scientists and statewide practitioners.

Training Goals

1. To share, learn, and hear from one another about climate impacts being experienced and adaptation actions being taken
2. To introduce climate science and its use in adaptation planning
3. To introduce ways to approach adaptation planning 
4. To highlight adaptation actions being taken by Indigenous, Alaska and Arctic communities
