In this chapter of the Fifth National Climate Assessment, the NOAA outlines and describes three key messages regarding the relationship between Native communities in the U.S and our changing environment. This report goes over how Indigenous peoples face a high risk of changing livelihoods due to climate change and environmental injustice, and how they are responding to these threats. The report also explains the nature of their resilience to such change and how Indigenous leadership can guide our response to climate change.
