Roundtable & Workshop: Accessing Tribal Climate and Health Resilience Data
Speakers
Shasta Gaughen, Pala Band of Mission Indians
Angela Hacker, Prosper Sustainably
Abstract
Tribes across the country are spending an overwhelming amount of time, resources, and energy on gathering external information to assess their vulnerability and resilience to climate change. The Pala Band of Mission Indians’ Tribal Climate Health Project will share the results of federally-funded work aimed at making it easier for tribes to access useful data to inform decisions about climate and health resilience and adaptation. Attendees will be introduced to tools to support efficient fact-finding for their vulnerability assessment efforts, including a simple protocol for requesting data on climate-relevant indicators from our project partners at the California Tribal Epidemiology Center. Speakers Shasta Gaughen (Pala) and Angie Hacker (Prosper Sustainably) will also facilitate an interactive discussion on tribal resilience data needs, which will inform ongoing national efforts to make tribal climate and health resilience data more accessible.
