Climate and Health Equity for Tribes
As the original stewards of California, Tribes have deep, enduring connections to the land, water, and cultural traditions. Climate change directly threatens these foundations. Tribes and Native American communities are often affected first and worst by the health impacts of climate change, owing in large part to the ongoing impacts of colonialism. However, Tribes and Native American communities continue to preserve their traditional practices and protect, steward, and restore ancestral lands, caring for the health and well-being of both the community and the environment.
The Climate and Health Equity Hub for Tribes is for Tribes seeking to address climate change-related health and health equity concerns. Explore resources, strategies, best practices, opportunities and mutual support, and more!
We acknowledge Tribal sovereignty over Tribal lands, private knowledge and data. We support Tribes in protecting and uplifting such rights and sovereignty, including rights to data, knowledge, materials and publications developed with our assistance.
