ACCAP – Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and Policy

This is a three part project looking at graduate-Level sustainability science courses, examining stakeholder engagement in EPSCoR’s Alaska ACE project, and expanding evaluation metrics for landscape-scale conservation.

Originally, pre-Covid-19 times one or two statewide meetings were planned to discussion drought in Alaska. But since we are not able to have an in-person Alaska drought workshop, we are moving forward with a webinar series to begin the conversation about drought in Alaska.

Many of the Tribes in rural Alaska have been working on an Adaption, Resilience and Mitigation planning process and this project addresses the capacity of these Tribes to carry out and implement these planning processes.

Elizabeth Figus, ACCAP postdoctoral fellow, is carrying out a climate change case study using an Indigenous partnership co-production process with Kake, Alaska.

In Feb 2020, ACCAP played a prominent role in leading the Business in a Changing Climate track of the Juneau Business Innovation Summit.

This project used a web-based questionnaire distributed to tribal participants who attend these trainings to understand what additional resources and support they want to help their climate adaptation planning efforts.

This research analyzes the impacts of past and current management decisions and the changing climate to help elucidate and improve the regionally and nationally important land management decisions related to tundra travel.

This case study was done in partnership with the Tribal Council of the Native Village of Shaktoolik to understand how various actors involved in planning for climate change perceive success.

Webinar series about 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.

Climate divisions outline geographic regions with homogenous climate variability.
