Stó:Lō Research And Resource Management Centre Climate Change Adaptation Project
In partnership with The Eskina Collaboration we brought our expertise in research, planning, and climate change to produce a report for the S’ólh Téméxw Stewardship Alliance (STSA) that provided a survey of existing Indigenous approaches to climate change planning and management. We identified strategic and practical considerations to inform next steps to support the development and implementation of a Stó:Lō-led approach to tackling climate change planning across the territory.

The Toolkit synthesizes funding, training, and certification opportunities available to First Nation governments and community members for addressing climate action priorities, and provides an analysis of challenges and opportunities for consideration by UBCIC leadership.
