Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperature, precipitation, and weather patterns caused primarily by human activities like burning fossil fuels and deforestation.
Climate changes significantly impact Tribal Nations, altering ecosystems and disrupting traditional practices such as fishing, farming, and hunting.
Rising sea levels threaten coastal communities, while droughts and extreme weather strain natural resources vital to Tribal economies and cultural identity.For Tribes, whose livelihoods and traditions are closely tied to their environments, climate change represents not just an environmental issue but a challenge to sovereignty, health, and resilience.
