Session One – virtual National Adaptation Forum Tribal & Indigenous Climate Adaptation Series

NOTE: This is PART ONE of the National Adaptation Forum Tribal & Indigenous Climate Adaptation Series FOUR PART series. If you’d like to attend the other events, register at: NationalAdaptationForum.org

This session will share promising approaches, lessons learned, tools, and resources developed by Pala’s federally funded Tribal Climate Health Project. In the last five years, this program has worked to strengthen U.S. Tribal capacity to assess and prepare for the health and other impacts of climate change through trainings, peer knowledge exchange, tools, nation-wide partnerships, data development, research, and direct assistance. This session will highlight the latest information on the health impacts of climate-induced wildfire, drought, heat, storms, and flooding on Tribes. It will detail how Pala has used its own adaptation experiences to inform the TCHP and how the TCHP continually informs Pala’s adaptation efforts.
