EPA Creates New ‘Tribal Climate and Energy Information’ Site
A new site created by the Environmental Protection Agency, ‘Tribal Climate and Energy Information,’ supports American Indian and Alaska Native communities whose health, economic well-being, and cultural traditions depend upon their natural environment, and who want to or are taking the steps necessary to mitigate climate change.
The site is designed to be a resource for tribal communities interested in implementing climate change mitigation and energy management projects that can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and help slow the rate of climate change and its impacts on economic and cultural sustainability.
It offers links to EPA resources and other websites that provide information that can help tribes reduce greenhouse gas emissions through energy efficiency, land use planning, renewable energy, transportation, water/wastewater, and waste management.
