Grasslands in the Great Plains are of ecological, economic, and cultural importance in the United States, and understanding how climate change and variability will impact these ecosystems is crucial for successful grassland management in the 21st century.

CASC Tribal Liaison Handout

Tribal Nations and Alaska Native communities face significant challenges in responding and strengthening resiliency to the extreme weather events and environmental hazards resulting from climate change. The Bureau of Indian Affairs’ Branch of Tribal Climate Resilience (TCR), the U.S. Geological Survey’s (USGS) Climate Adaptation Science Centers (CASCs), and several Tribal Nations/Organizations are collaborating to support a nationwide network of Liaisons. Each Liaison works directly with a regional CASC connecting resources to federally-recognized Tribes in climate adaptation efforts.
