    Summary:
    The Status of Tribes and Climate Change (STACC) report series elevates the voices and efforts of Indigenous Peoples, Nations, and communities and provides a space within published literature to share stories about the climate change impacts we are experiencing and the solutions we are implementing. The reports are acts of resilience and self-determination intended to uplift Indigenous experiences and Indigenous Knowledge Systems (IKS) in local, national, and global conversations.

    To further uplift this Knowledge, ITEP is excited to announce a webinar series dedicated to the STACC Report, Volume 2, which was released in Spring 2025. The webinar series will bring to life discussions amongst chapter authors and provide a space for public conversation and questions.
