Learn about available Bureau of Indian Affairs Branch of Tribal Climate Resilience funding to support Tribal adaptation planning and preparedness, capacity building, youth and implementation activities. The Annual Awards Program seeks to help Tribes address climate change impacts, ocean and coastal resource management, and relocation, managed retreat, and protect-in-place issues and decision-making processes.

This workshop will cover the fundamentals of writing a competitive funding proposal so that your grant writing efforts are more effective and bring in more dollars. This presentation is intended for Tribal staff, intertribal organizations, or tribal citizens with an emphasis on climate change programming (vulnerability assessments, adaptation planning, or risk assessments). This 90 minute workshop is interactive with open Q&A. Information presented will be relevant for other funding opportunities.

Tribal Climate Resilience partners with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and others to provide students from across the country with an annual congress during the summer. Here, students come together in person to discuss community adaptation and related environmental issues impacting Native peoples. The mission of the NYCALC is to develop future conservation leaders with the skills, knowledge, and tools to address environmental change and conservation challenges to better serve their schools and home communities.

The Institute for Tribal Environmental Professionals (ITEP) is excited to host the second Biennial National Tribal and Indigenous Climate Conference (NTICC) which will be offered as a hybrid event to ensure that our relatives from across turtle island can join us whether in-person or virtually.
