Roundtable on Climate, Tribal Energy Development, and Habitat Protection
On September 16-17, 2008 the International Institute for Indigenous Resource Management is organizing the Roundtable on Climate, Tribal Energy Development, and Habitat Protection. The roundtable will bring together high level tribal, NGO, industry, and government leaders and experts in the many fields of energy, environment, wildlife, science and technology, law, and policy in a series of facilitated dialogues to see if and how tribes can design energy development projects that support multiple purposes and multiple uses.
Similarly, roundtable participants will see if and how tribes can use intertribal approaches to offset carbon emissions and other environmental impacts that will support multiple purposes including, among other things, enhancing fish and wildlife habitat.
A final roundtable objective is to establish a framework for developing and harmonizing tribal energy and habitat protection/expansion policies and institutions.
