Step-by-Step Climate Planning for Northern California Tribes
The Northern California Tribal Climate Collaborative (NCTCC) Portal contains a comprehensive collection of available tools and resources to support Tribes in the completion of climate vulnerability assessments and the development of actionable climate resiliency plans.
Below are links and descriptions for the Climate Action Resilience Plan Framework, searchable Climate Resource Library, Climate Surveys and Survey Tools.
CLIMATE ACTION RESILIENCE PLAN FRAMEWORK: The Framework outlines a step-by-step process collated from several core development sources to create Vulnerability Assessments and actionable Climate Adaptation Plans.
CLIMATE RESOURCE LIBRARY: The Climate Resource Library contains over 200 sortable open source resources to support climate researchers and planners to navigate and choose from climate resources, templates, modeling and mapping links. These are arranged so users can sort and use them by the tasks outlined in the Framework. This library will be updated regularly. Please check back often.
Vulnerability Assessments and Climate Planning are best completed in community. To support Community Based Participatory Research the NCTCC created three surveys that target different audiences. These can be printed and distributed at community events or focus-groups, uploaded into an online survey platform like Mailchimp or Google survey, or completed in one-to-interviews.
These are accompanied by three survey tools to be used for those who administer the survey:
To receive support for your work, to ask questions, provide feedback or submit updates to any of the NCTCC framework tools or resources please send information or requests to info@cieaweb.org with NCTCC in the Subject line.
The NCTCC is additionally holding quarterly meetings for California Tribes to meet and discuss climate challenges, planning and alignment of actions to protect communities, tribal resources and the species that rely on our continued stewardship to reduce pressure from climate change. To receive information about upcoming meetings or to join our contact list send an email to info@cieaweb.org with your request or need.
Support for this project was funded by a grant to Dry Creek Rancheria from the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and the United States Geological Survey (USGS) Southwest Climate Adaptation Science Centers (SW CASC).
