Scientists say the large swings from one extreme to the other, and their increased frequency over time are tell-tale signs of climate change already having significant impacts on the state, whether by sea, by land, or on the people.
To tackle this present and growing threat, two mighty organizations partnered with each other to leverage their resources with the goal of overcoming the challenges vulnerable — especially Indigenous — coastal populations face, and yet also allowing each to survive, and even, thrive through the chaos.
“Expanding and Connecting Tribal-Led Climate Change Capacity to Serve Indigenous Community Needs in Alaska” project. Three main objectives were outlined in order to successfully achieve the mission. First, establish a director of tribal climate change initiatives within ANTHC that leverages statewide relationships with tribes to identify climate change adaptation activities and challenges in each tribe so that a baseline can be set. Then convene an Alaska native people-led advisory group to prioritize efforts across the state.
“I happen to be in Nome right now, where I’m getting personal, firsthand opportunity to see how climate change, how coastal conditions are changing and impacting the villages and the tribal communities across the coastal communities of Alaska,” Spinrad said.
