Abstract
  • This Guidebook follows a holistic approach to adaptation planning called community-driven climate resilience planning. Community-driven climate resilience planning is “the process by which residents of vulnerable and impacted communities define for themselves the complex climate challenges they face, and the climate solutions most relevant to their unique assets and threats.” There is a range of terminology applied to this type of planning. In this Guidebook, the term adaptation planning is used while recognizing that tribes can identify and employ terms that resonate most for them. Broadly, this Guidebook begins by drawing on the tribe’s unique vision, context, and culture to arrive at a set of tribal priorities. The tribe then assesses the vulnerability of these priorities and develops appropriate solutions. Finally, the framework provides strategies to build capacity and implement solutions. Step 1 offers guidance to Center the Tribe’s Adaptation Effort in the tribe’s vision and priorities. Also covered in Step 1 is guidance on engaging tribal leadership and community members and ways the tribe may consider incorporating TKs in climate change adaptation planning. The next four steps constitute the climate adaptation planning process: Identify Concerns and Gather Information (Step 2), Assess Vulnerability (Step 3), Plan for Action (Step 4), and Implement and Monitor Actions (Step 5). Each step is connected to and emanates from the tribe’s vision and priorities and considers multiple knowledges and perspectives (Figure 2). Note: These steps are iterative and cyclical and may need to be revisited periodically through the adaptation planning process.
