ITEP's Tribal Climate Change Adaptation Planning Toolkit
Collection of templates and other resources developed by the Institute for Tribal Environmental Professionals (ITEP) to assist tribes in their climate change adaptation planning process. The materials provided are not "one-size-fits-all" solutions, and users are encouraged to modify the materials to better represent the needs and priorities of their own tribe.

Tribal Vulnerability Assessment Resources and Climate Tool
Tribal nations have been actively engaged in efforts to understand climate risks to their natural and cultural resources, and what they can do to prepare. The University of Washington Climate Impacts Group have carefully selected a suite of resources that may be useful to tribes at each stage in the process of evaluating their vulnerability to climate change—from tribes just getting started to those well on their way.

Climate Adaptation Knowledge Exchange (CAKE)
The Climate Adaptation Knowledge Exchange (CAKE) aims to create a shared knowledge base for climate adaptation planning by providing case studies, example documents, planning tools, informational opportunities, and more. Information can be accessed through a variety of ways on the site, including by region, topic, or type of resource.

CRAVe (Climate Registry for the Assessment of Vulnerability)
CRAVe is a COMMUNITY RESOURCE that houses information on assessments of the vulnerability of various natural and human resources to a changing climate. Users can enter information about their vulnerability assessments and search for assessments for specific geographic regions, assessment targets or endpoints, managing entity, and other factors.

A Tribal Climate Adaptation Menu
Provides a framework to integrate indigenous and traditional knowledge, culture, language and history into the climate adaptation planning process. The Menu is an extensive collection of climate change adaptation actions for natural resource management and may be useful in bridging communication barriers for non-tribal persons or organizations interested in indigenous approaches to climate adaptation and the needs and values of tribal communities

Climate Change Planning Tools for First Nations
These six Guidebooks ‘walk and talk’ a First Nation through the planning process. Each develops an important part of the planning process and is a precursor to the next guidebook. They contain: suggestions of how a First Nation might plan for climate change, how to involve the community, and activities that a First Nation can use to involve members of the community to set priorities and achieve them.
