Description

Local Solution
(Type of Activity: Policy/Planning/Land Use )

Engage tribes not only in environmental justice sections but as domain experts and leaders on vegetation management, land stewardship, and climate resilience; expanding their role beyond diversity inclusion into substantive planning authority. 

Existing Examples of Progress: The YTT Northern Chumash tribe was written specifically into the City of SLO's climate adaptation plan as leads on vegetation management and traditional ecological knowledge in city open space, enabled by SB 18's tribal consultation requirement for general plan updates.
Further Progress Pathways: SB 18's tribal consultation requirement for general plan and specific plan updates provides an existing mechanism for jurisdictions to initiate and deepen these relationships.
Region: Central Coast
