One Story: A Report of the First Peoples Convening on Climate-Forced Displacement
In October 2018, over sixty representatives of First and Indigenous communities met in Girdwood, Alaska, for a first-of-its-kind gathering: the First Peoples’ Convening on Climate-Forced Displacement. Representatives came from Alaska, Louisiana, Washington, Bangladesh, and the Pacific. The group met for three days to power-fully share the ways in which rapid climate change is impacting their communi-ties and traditional ways of life, share traditional knowledge and practices, and begin to develop a collective vision for the future. Participants were all representatives of First Peoples and Indigenous Peoples who face the threat of displacement by slow-onset changes to their ancestral and traditional lands. |

Weathering Uncertainty: Traditional Knowledge for Climate Change Assessment and Adaptation
Co-published by UNESCO and UNU, references 280 publications from the scientific literature and covers themes at the core of the Fifth IPCC assessment report, such as foundations for decision-making on indigenous knowledge, traditional livelihoods, vulnerability, resilience, and adaptation policy and planning. |

NationalU.S. National Climate Assessment (NCA) Reports The National Climate Assessments are comprehensive reports, published approximately every four years, discussing climate change and its impacts in the United States, now and in the future. The assessments contain chapters on the latest climate science as well as chapters on regional and sectoral impacts and adaptation actions underway. The third NCA, completed in 2014, and the fourth NCA, completed in 2018, also contain chapters specific to Tribes and Indigenous Peoples. We’re including links to both the third and fourth NCAs here because they build on one another and contain somewhat different but complimentary information.

2nd State of the Carbon Cycle Report (SOCCR2)
The goal of the second (2018) State of the Carbon Cycle Report was to summarize scientific understanding of the U.S. and North American carbon cycle stocks and fluxes. Various chapters focus on carbon stocks and fluxes in soils, waters including oceans, vegetation, estuaries and wetlands, agriculture, forests, and human settlements. Chapter 7 focuses on Tribal Lands. |

StateCalifornia's Fourth Climate Change Assessment California’s Climate Change Assessments (2018) contribute to the scientific foundation for understanding climate-related vulnerability at the local scale and informing resilience actions, while also directly informing State policies, plans, programs, and guidance, to promote effective and integrated action to safeguard California from climate change. |

Montana Climate Assessment
The 2017 Montana Climate Assessment focused on three sectors that Montana stakeholders identified as important: water, forests, and agriculture. The MCA found that all three of these sectors have experienced impacts from climate change over the last half century. In addition to exploring how the past climate has changed and its effects on Montana, the MCA explored how future projected climate change would also affect water, forests, and agriculture across the state. The overall objective of the MCA is to inform Montanans about the state’s changing climate so that they can better plan for the future. |

TribalColorado River Basin Ten Tribes Partnership Tribal Water Study Report The Study documents how Partnership Tribes currently use their water, projects how future water development could occur, and describes the potential effects of future tribal water development on the Colorado River System. The Study also identifies challenges related to the use of tribal water and explores opportunities that provide a wide range of benefits to both Partnership Tribes and other water users. |
