Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians Climate Change Program

The Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians (ATNI) is a nonprofit organization representing 57 Northwest tribal governments from Oregon, Idaho, Washington, Southeast Alaska, Northern California and Western Montana. The ATNI Climate Change Program supports member Tribes with best practices to address and adapt to climate change, serving as a clearinghouse for, and coordinator of, tribal and intertribal efforts. ATNI prioritizes climate resilience strategies that protect tribal treaty rights and trust resources., while ensuring that ATNI member Tribes are engaged and aware of the federal, state, and tribal climate change programs and  funding to build tribal capacity.

ATNI supports Tribes in local and regional climate planning through workshops, outreach, and in 2022 partnered with other organizations to provide the National Tribal Leaders Climate Change Summit. In 2018, ATNI, the Northwest Climate Adaptation Science Center, and the University of Washington conducted three climate planning workshops with 50 tribal participants from 22 Tribes.

The ATNI Climate Change Program website offers links and more information on upcoming events, resources and research, and news related to tribal climate change planning and action.
