Tribal Climate Change Adaptation Planning Toolkit

Description

The Northern Arizona University Institute for Tribal Environmental Professionals (ITEP) provides support to the needs of tribes that are preparing for and currently contending with climate change impacts. This program offers training, technical assistance, educational resources, and tools to build the capacity of tribes to address climate change impacts.

This collection of templates and other resources can 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.
