Role in CNNCTS
The Climate Science Alliance, in collaboration with San Diego State University, will help expand and strengthen a Tribally-led network focused on climate adaptation in southern California. This collaborative effort emphasizes the equal valuation of Indigenous and academic knowledge, promoting Indigenous management practices and stewardship. The project aims to advance transformational climate adaptation, leveraging technical training, traditional knowledge, and economic development pathways to benefit community resilience, ecological restoration, and the co-stewardship of ancestral lands. The Climate Science Alliance also intends to foster intergenerational knowledge exchange through hands-on activities, storytelling, and art that promotes understanding of Tribal stewardship and regional climate impacts.
Relevant Projects
Resilient Restoration: Advancing Resilience with Tribal Nations in Southern California
This collaborative project works to promote Tribal resilience by developing knowledge and supporting actions that enhance persistence of cultural practices with a focus on preserving the ecosystems and plant species that are integral to Tribal communities. The Resilient Restoration project, funded by the California Strategic Growth Council's Climate Change Research Program, is a collaborative effort of the Climate Science Alliance's Tribal Working Group, University of California Riverside, and San Diego State University.

Working Groups
As we have expanded the climate conversation, the Climate Science Alliance formed focus groups for our partners to hone in on relevant projects. Our Binational Working Group and Tribal Working Group provide an opportunity for partners to share skills, expertise, and knowledge in order to bridge the gap between research and application within the community.
