Purpose

The Branch of Tribal Climate Resilience (TCR) provides financial support for federally recognized tribal nations and authorized tribal organizations through a competitive funding opportunity to address current and future climate change impacts on tribal treaty and trust resources, economies, regenerative agriculture and food sovereignty, conservation practices, infrastructure, and human health and safety.

Categories of funding:

  • Category 1 - Planning: Includes development of formal planning documents or designs, data collection/analysis, supplemental monitoring efforts, feasibility studies, and structural or engineering documents
  • Category 2 - Implementation: Includes design phase or implementation of projects if the project has been previously identified and supported by official planning documents
  • Category 3 - Relocation, Managed Retreat, Protect-in-Place (RMP) Staff Salary: Non-competitive funding (subject to available funds) to support staff positions focusing on the development of planning documents, implementation actions, community engagement, coordination with federal and other partners, and more

Funding will be prioritized for projects that address imminent climate-related threats to human health and safety (including relocation, managed retreat, and protect-in-place efforts) and tribal capacity to address such threats.
