KAI offers specialized support to tribal communities across the U.S. by promoting environmental justice, climate resilience, sustainability, and natural and cultural resource stewardship. We promote all aspects of environmental justice for tribes and other underserved communities by helping assess climate risks, and developing strategies that protect vital resources and safeguard cultural heritage. KAI provides technical assistance, subject matter expertise, and training to assist tribal communities with accessing grants to strengthen their capacity to manage climate impacts such as extreme weather, rising sea levels, water quality, and habitat loss. KAI plays a vital role connecting agencies, organizations, and others with tribal communities on topics of common interest. By integrating Indigenous Knowledge with modern science, KAI works with tribal communities to foster resilient ecosystems and infrastructure, empowering tribes to thrive despite changing environmental conditions and ensuring just transitions, tribal sovereignty, and self-governance for future generations.
