Indigenous Youth Climate Resiliency Through Public Policy Program

The Indigenous Youth Climate Resiliency Through Public Policy Program (IYCRTPPP) is a program of the Businesses for Conservation & Climate Action (BCCA) and the American Sustainable Business Network (ASBN). This is a 13-week-long initiative aimed at equipping a select cohort of 20 young individuals, aged 18-30, from diverse U.S. Indigenous communities with the knowledge and skills necessary to drive change through a policy-oriented lens. Each week, we explore pivotal topics through examining case studies and engaging with guest speakers related to climate change impacts, governmental structures, policy development, advocacy strategies, media engagement, and community organizing.
