Native Americans throughout the Southwest are disproportionately impacted by climate change but their deep connection to the environments and landscapes upon which their cultures, traditions, and livelihoods depend on contribute to their resilience to climate change. Until recently, CCASS hosted the Native Nations Climate Adaptation Program (NNCAP) and partnered with the Southwest Adaptation Climate Science Center, CLIMAS, the Native Nations Institute of the Udall Center in Public Policy, and many other units and researchers across the University of Arizona to assist tribes in climate adaptation, particularly through needs assessment, capacity building, vulnerability assessment, and by honoring traditional knowledge.
