The NC CASC invites you to attend our Tribal Climate Monthly Webinar!
Tribal resilience in the face of climate change is fundamentally about the relationships and processes between the land, air, water and biology of the earth’s biosphere. Prominent among the species at the center of climate change is humankind. Dr. Wildcat’s presentation will focus on the importance of drawing on our own tribal worldviews, philosophies, and experiences to shape responses to climate change that break out of the boxes and silos where most modern scientific knowledge resides. By understanding climate change and all of its associated manifestations as bound-up in a complex web of relationships, tribal nations can actually model resilient responses to climate change that see economic development, housing, transportation, food, education, land-use planning, and behavioral health, essentially all sectors of human activity, as related and due for consideration in shaping a resilient response to climate change. Dr. Wildcat will discuss ancient principles of life to address very modern problems – especially the challenge of global climate change.
