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.
Explore Climate Action tools — including the Resilience Plan Framework, searchable Resource Library, and Climate Surveys — to support your community’s planning.
CLIMATE ACTION RESILIENCE PLAN FRAMEWORK: A step-by-step process collated from several core development sources to assist you in creating Vulnerability Assessments and actionable Climate Adaptation Plans.
CLIMATE RESOURCE LIBRARY: Over 200 sortable open source resources, this guide supports climate researchers and planners to navigate and choose from climate resources, templates, 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.
Vulnerability Assessments and Climate Planning are best completed in community. To support Community Based Participatory Research, the NCTCC created three surveys that are aimed towards 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:

CIEA is currently looking for funding sources to supplement costs to hold meetings with Tribes, as we would like to hold a Climate Conference in the near future. With budget cuts from state and federal agencies, funding has become sparse but we are working to ensure we are maximizing all sources (mostly private funding and state funding) to make this possible. If you have information on funding sources that could fund climate resiliency or emergency preparedness projects, please email grants@cieaweb.org.
Support for this project was funded by a grant to Dry Creek Rancheria from the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), and the United States Geological Survey (USGS) Southwest Climate Adaptation Science Centers (SW CASC).
