Join the National Tribal Caucus's Climate Subgroup and EPA for the third in a series of Town Halls on Tribal Climate Change. This quarter, the topic will include giving input on EPA’s Climate Adaptation Plan and Leveraging Grants for Climate Action.
Discussion questions:
1. EPA has identified Tribal Nations as a Priority for their Climate Adaptation Work. How can EPA help your Tribe adapt to climate change?
2. What are best practices for integrating climate action into your grant activities?

Regional collaborations have the potential to maximize benefits to conservation, particularly in the Southeast US, a region especially vulnerable to climate change impacts and urban sprawl. Using an online Qualtrics survey between September 2022 and March 2023, we gathered information from wildlife practitioners at the field biologist and administration levels from across the Southeast Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies’ (SEAFWA) region (n = 408). We will cover our findings and discuss ways that they can help decision makers identify key areas for investment in regional collaborative frameworks to enhance conservation at a greater scale.

In this webinar series, practitioners will share information, results and lessons learned through recent work by FHWA/US DOT and State and MPO partners to make the transportation system more resilient to climate change and extreme weather events. The first track focuses on the processes used in the Gulf Coast Study, Phase 2 (Mobile) and transferable methods developed for other agencies to assess the vulnerability of transportation infrastructure. The second track focuses on FHWA's recently completed Climate Resilience Pilot program, which supported 19 pilot projects around the country to assess vulnerabilities and develop strategies to make transportation infrastructure and operations more resilient to climate change and extreme weather events.
