Tribal Communities to Receive Funding to Fight Climate Change

Following the passage of President Biden’s Infrastructure Law and 2022 appropriations for projects for climate resilience and adaptation, Native American tribes will receive $46 in funding to combat climate change. The funding will be allocated in the span of five years to tribal communities to deal with climate-related conflicts such as increasing temperatures, rising sea levels, potential droughts, and other initiatives to strengthen climate resilience and adaptation. While the funding is long overdue, this action will benefit various tribes to combat the effects of climate change in the upcoming years.
