From Rolf Pendall
In her presentation March 10, 2023, Ms. Wade shares an overview of the process for developing the report, Unmet Needs of Environmentally Threatened Alaska Native Villages: Assessment and Recommendations. The report, produced as the culmination of a 2-year engagement process in which Agnew::Beck led engagement and communications, communicates to Congress, the Biden Administration, and relevant federal agency leadership the voices and vision of the most environmentally impacted communities and regions of Alaska. It aims to inform Federal funding decisions and improve the delivery of services to rural Alaska communities facing climate change impacts. In her presentation, Ms. Wade will share the primary recommendations in the report and the proposed framework for how Tribal and Indigenous leaders will continue to work with their federal and state partners to lead and advise report recommendations focused on assessing risk, climate adaptation and mitigation planning, and management of related capital projects.
