View Report (PDF)

After experiencing numerous extreme weather events, the Swinomish Indian Tribal Community (SITC) decided to put in place a far-reaching action plan to prepare for future climate changes. The tribe recognized that designing an effective climate change plan required a coordinated effort across multiple tribal government departments as well as organizations beyond the reservation boundaries. The Swinomish Climate Change Initiative is a comprehensive effort aimed at assessing and responding to any negative impacts on community members, tribal land, and the regional ecosystem.
