Climate Adaptation Plan ~ Chapter 3C: Infrastructure & Built Systems

Roads used to access First Foods harvest, housing that shelters us, seats of governance

Contemporary CTUIR communities rely on rigid buildings and shared transportation routes that need to be constructed and maintained.

These components of infrastructure will face challenges from changing climate conditions.
