Tribal Nations in the United States are uniquely exposed to the impacts of climate change, and are spearheading novel, effective adaptation and mitigation solutions. However, Tribes also report significant, persistent barriers and unmet needs to achieve their adaptation goals. The Cluster is supporting two projects in the Pacific Northwest and Louisiana designed to support Tribes’ identify and address these barriers.

In Louisiana, the Cluster is supporting research into How the Gulf Coast Can Lead the Energy Transition. This project takes a closer look at equitable energy and industrial transitions and is being implemented in partnership with the Lowlander Center and the Disaster Justice Network (DJN).
