In 2022–23, the state of California allocated $100 million to the University of California to fund research grants supporting climate change resilience in communities across the state.

Three of the California Climate Action Seed Grant-funded research projects are establishing collaborations between academic institutions and Tribal nations to support climate change resilience through tribal resource management. The projects involve:

  • Investigating pinyon pine forest ecology and cultural values in the Eastern Sierra
  • Monitoring fisheries on the North Coast
  • Surveying the changing landscapes of California Indian Public Domain Lands
