caption: "Many Indigenous peoples are taking steps to adapt to climate change impacts. You can use the interactive version of this map available at https://biamaps.doi.gov/nca/ to search by activity type, region, and sector and to find more information and links to each project. To provide feedback and add new projects for inclusion in the database, see: https://www.bia.gov/bia/ots/tribal-resilience-program/nca/. Thus far, tribal entities in the Northwest have the highest concentration of climate activities (Ch. 24: Northwest). For other case studies of tribal adaptation activities, see both the Institute for Tribal Environmental Professionals’ Tribal Profiles,{{< tbib '1' 'd3ebe118-8e13-4c66-af22-b50a8a707360' >}} and Tribal Case Studies within the U.S. Climate Resilience Toolkit. {{< tbib '2' 'aef9a0ac-5050-4f22-8006-45bc1981fba1' >}},{{< tbib '3' '102c643a-31f7-4881-b0cb-74335c20bf6f' >}} Source: Bureau of Indian Affairs."

caption: "Communities’ economic potential and livelihoods rely on infrastructure and the essential services it delivers, and many tribes and Indigenous communities already face acute infrastructure challenges that make them highly vulnerable to climate impacts.{{< tbib '22' '5b754441-464c-49fd-90e8-c184fc2ba1f5' >}} Indigenous peoples along the coasts and in the islands, the Southwest, and Alaska have experienced the most extensive infrastructure-related impacts thus far (Ch. 8: Coastal; Ch. 20: U.S. Caribbean; Ch. 25: Southwest; Ch. 26: Alaska; Ch. 27: Hawaiʻi & Pacific Islands).

caption: 'Some tribal communities at risk of displacement from climate change are actively planning whole-community relocation strategies. As part of the resettlement of the tribal community of Isle de Jean Charles, residents are working with the Lowlander Center (a local, nongovernmental organization), the State of Louisiana, and others to finalize a plan that reflects the physical, sociocultural, and economic needs of the community.
