A CRITICAL AND EMERGING ELEMENT OF CLIMATE ADAPTATION

Tribes are keenly aware of the interconnection between health, nature, and personal wellbeing. Leading experts in climate change and wellbeing are increasingly encouraging communities to be proactive about protecting and building psychological, social, cultural,and spiritual wellbeing.Often overlooked in adaptation planning, wellbeing interventions can be a critical element of adapting to the growing stressors and trauma associated with climate change. Climate changes are expected to present unpredictable, severe, long-term, and recurring adversities for communities across the U.S. and can induce biological stress responses, especially in the absence of personal coping skills and trusted social relationships. New climate stressors compound historical traumas that tribes have encountered over generations of ecological and political change, such as the eviction of the Cupeño people from their ancestral homeland in 1903. The need for trauma-and culture-informed interventionsis greater and more urgent than ever. Chemşhúun Pe'ícháachuqeli, Pala’s Tribal Psychosocial Climate Resilience Framework, is designed to help Pala and other communities consider how to safeguard mental and emotional wellbeing when preparing for the impacts of climate change. This reportis part of Pala’s National Indian Health Board (NIHB) funded Climate Change Adaptation Plan, which incorporates health and wellbeing strategies.
