Tribal Government CCA Resources



I recently co-facilitated a workshop concerning climate change adaptation for staff of a tribal government. In preparing for that, i came across some cool links.

ORCA Database
"ORCA is a searchable database developed by the Institute for Tribal Environmental Professionals (ITEP) - you can search for news articles, videos and audios, adaptation planning guidebooks and tools, assessments and reports, and much more."

Adaptation Planning Tool Kit
"This "toolkit" is a collection of templates and other resources developed by the Institute for Tribal Environmental Professionals (ITEP) to assist tribes in their climate change adaptation planning process. The materials provided are not "one-size-fits-all" solutions, and users are encouraged to modify the materials to better represent the needs and priorities of their own tribe. The primary users of these materials will be the tribe’s climate change working group.

Adaptation Planning Background Material
Checklist
Template: Tribal Climate Change Adaptation Planning Guide
Template: Tribal Resolution for a Climate Change Adaptation Initiative
Worksheet: Adaptation Planning
Spreadsheet: Adaptation Planning
Template: Tribal Climate Change Adaptation Plan
Guides and Tools for Climate Change Adaptation Planning
Example Tribal Climate Change Assessments and Plans”

Tribal Climate Change Guide
Pacific NW based, but of general value. Some rare sections, such as funding.

“The BIA Tribal Climate Resilience Program
 "goal is the mainstreaming of climate considerations at the project level through leadership engagement, delivery of data and tools, training and tribal capacity building. Direct funding supports tribes, tribal consortia, and authorized tribal organizations to plan for climate resilience through competitive awards for tribally designed climate training, adaptation planning, vulnerability assessments, supplemental monitoring, capacity building, and youth engagement. The ocean and coastal management effort supports planning, science and tools, and capacity for coastal tribe's ocean management. Ocean and coastal proposals need not address only climate related concerns.”
