As members of the President’s State, Local, and Tribal Leaders Task Force on Climate Preparedness, Mayor Reggie Joule, Northwest Arctic Borough (AK) and Chairwoman Karen Diver, Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa (MN), were tasked by the President with providing recommendations for improving tribal climate preparedness and resilience. Through a series of listening sessions, conference presentations, and agency webinars in 2014, they gathered input from hundreds of tribal leaders across the country to inform the Administration’s concerted effort to better support tribal communities in preparing for the impacts of climate change. The feedback they collected was integral to the final report the Task Force delivered to the White House on November 17, and it formed the basis for the supplementary recommendations of tribal leaders, which were released in conjunction with the 6th Annual White House Tribal Nations Conference in early December. The supplementary recommendations complement the Task Force’s full report by highlighting the specific and unique perspectives of tribal communities on how federal agencies can better assist their efforts to address the climate challenges they face.
