TRIBAL DELEGATES

TCC is intended for early career tribal leaders who have been assigned some level of responsibility for leading a climate change program.

Tribal delegates are expected to come in teams of 2-3 individuals. Team members may include a mix of tribal leaders, early career tribal environmental professionals, tribal citizens interesting in working on the climate crisis, such as a council member, or natural resource advisory committee member. Other team members may be tribal leaders for education or health departments, who want to cooperate with environmental program leaders on climate change adaptation. Our team approach will help ground the work at camp in the realities of the tribal delegation, while building confidence, and increasing the probability of success back home.
