Tribal Listening Session at ATNI Winter Convention
ATNI and the University of Washington (UW) Climate Impacts Groups will hold a Listening Session for the Tribal Coastal Resilience (TCR) Project at the ATNI Winter Convention. A key objective of this project is to co-develop with Northwest coastal Tribes in Washington and Oregon a regional assessment of their climate adaptation barriers, needs and opportunities. Listening Sessions are designed to provide an opportunity for these Tribes to directly inform this assessment and guide future activities of the TCR project. Location and time of the TCR Listening Session at the ATNI Winter Convention is still TBD. Tribal citizens or staff do not have to register or attend the ATNI Winter Convention to participate in the Listening Session. For more information, contact Amelia Marchand, amarchand@atnitribes.org or Meade Krosby, mkrosby@uw.edu.
