Description
Purpose: Title: Stronger, Together: Expanding Climate Adaptation Technical Assistance for Frontline Alaska Native Communities Recipient: Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium Project Type: Implementation of Resilience and Adaptation Actions (Track Two) Funding Amount: $74,950,045 Congressional District(s): Alaska at Large Summary: Alaska Is an Underserved State and Is on the Front Lines for a Number of Climate Impacts, Especially Remote Native Alaskan Communities Who Depend on Traditional Subsistence Practices. This Project Envisions Transforming the Landscape of Alaska Tribal Climate Adaptation Activities from a State of Very Limited Capacity to a Thriving Network of Practitioners That Are Making Rapid Progress Toward Addressing Extremely Complex, Long-Term Problems Such as Community Relocation, Behavioral Health, and Food Sovereignty. The Inspiration for This Vision, and the Foundation for Achieving IT, Is Based on the Strength and Resiliency of Alaska Native Cultures. The Project Will Focus on Three Major Adaptation Actions: 1) Establishing a Community Climate Risk Assessment Program; 2) Expanding Statewide Tribal Adaptation Technical Assistance; and 3) Networking and Knowledge Sharing. This Project Is Expected to Serve Nearly 100 Alaska Native Communities Statewide and Provide Funding for 42 New Full-Time Equivalent Positions with Additional Support for 21 Existing Positions.
