Climate Change and Native Nations: The Search for Legal Remedies
Saturday, February 28, 2:45-3:45pm
Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies
Kroon Hall, 195 Prospect Street, Room G01
The effects of climate change are continuing to increase and are disproportionately affecting tribal communities. Some Native nations have taken action to mitigate the effects of and adapt to climate change to protect their natural resources, homelands, infrastructure, and food sources. This workshop will address the following questions: What is the current state of climate policy within Native communities? What are Indian Country’s best resiliency practices? What opportunities and challenges exist in using various international and domestic legal tools to seek redress?
