Status of Tribes and Climate Change Report - Volume 2


The second volume of the STACC report followed a similar process as the first volume. 

A common theme from the eight (8) chapters within this volume is the urgency and need to enact respectful, reciprocal relationships with our human and non-human relatives that are essential for harmony and balance with our natural world.

A steering committee was convened and lead authors were identified and sent an invitation. 

In addition, the team decided to provide an open call to the public to provide input and a call for authors was sent out to invite any one interested in taking part in participating in the report as a co-author. 

A Steering Committee of 17 Knowledge Holders, Elders, Young leaders, Tribal representatives, and scientists from across Mother Earth oversaw the report development, including 79 contributing authors and many artists. We are so proud to have an all-Indigenous lead author team! 

As you read through the report, you will see the hard work of the authors and artists who put in long hours to create a unique document that truly honors our Indigenous relatives and non-human relatives.
