Case Update
Climate change is one of the most challenging issues facing the world today. Its effects on indigenous peoples throughout the world are acute and will only get worse. The effects are especially pronounced in Alaska where 184 villages are threatened with removal. (See Alaska Report) NARF, in addition to working with some of its present clients on this issue, will also work with the National Tribal Environmental Council on climate change issues and in particular on ensuring that climate change legislation and action at the international level, incorporates Indigenous Peoples as sovereign partners in addressing this issue and provides them the needed resources for adaptation and mitigation.
