Water Policy Consulting, LLC; Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and
Policy (ACCAP); and tribal environmental and climate change
professionals throughout the country are offering the Winter 2015-2016
Policy and Climate Adaptation Mitigation and Planning for Alaska Natives
webinars series. The series will demonstrate how Native Villages and
other communities in Alaska can apply state, federal and tribal policies
to address climate change impacts on water and subsistence resources
through water resource management and protection, land and water rights,
sovereignty and other resiliency and mitigation strategies.
The first presentation of the series, scheduled for Tuesday, 5 January
2015 at 10:00 a.m. AKST, is entitled "Strategies for Strengthening
Alaska Native Village Roles in Natural Resource Management." The
presenter is Barrett Ristroph, Pacific Policy Director at Pacific
Environment and PhD student at the University of Hawaii.
Unlike tribes in other U.S. jurisdictions, Alaska's tribes do not have
sovereignty (or direct ownership in many cases) over their traditional
lands and the natural resources on which they depend for their
nutritional and cultural survival. In place of treaties ensuring hunting
and fishing rights, they are subject to complex hunting laws that limit
their ability to adapt hunting practices to changes in species
distribution. Many Alaska Native Villages are grappling with the
combined impacts of climate and social change. This webinar will
identify and evaluates a range of tools that could help Alaska Native
Villages increase their influence over wildlife and land management
decisions, including following international bodies.
