For the past two years, Prosper Sustainably has been working on behalf of the Pala Band of Mission Indians to develop the federally-funded Tribal Climate Health Project to build the capacity of tribes around the nation to prepare and address the health effects of climate change. We are now preparing to offer a series of trainings at the upcoming conferences and workshops listed below. We would appreciate your help spreading the word to professionals that have a role in developing and managing climate change, health, and/or environmental initiatives for tribal communities. If you’ll be at these events, we’d love to meet you in person. Please connect by emailing ahacker@prospersustainably.com. Additional in-person and web-based trainings are being planned for this year. Please stay tuned for more details by signing up for updates at tribalclimatehealth.org.
