In September 2021, the U.S. Climate Resilience Toolkit announced the publication of a new Northern Great Plains Region section. The section features narratives, tools, case studies, and reports related to the impacts of climate change across the Northern Great Plains and information on how people can build resilience to them.

The Status of Tribes and Climate Change (STACC) Report seeks to uplift and honor the voices of Indigenous peoples across the U.S. to increase understanding of Tribal lifeways, cultures, and worldviews, the climate change impacts Tribes are experiencing, the solutions they are implementing, and ways that all of us can support Tribes in adapting to our changing world.

NC CASC’s consultant to the Great Plains Tribal Water Alliance, James Rattling Leaf, helped the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe organize and host a two-day Climate Change Summit on September 9-10th in Bismarck, North Dakota.

A recent news announcement by the National CASC highlighted a publication funded by the NC CASC, "A typology of drought decision making: Synthesizing across cases to understand drought preparedness and response actions."

The NC CASC welcomes our new Communications Specialist, Ulyana Horodyskyj. Ulyana is a geologist/glaciologist/climate change expert with extensive experience in science communication, as well as previous experience as a research associate.
