The Indigenous Community-Based Climate Monitoring Program provides funding to support Indigenous peoples in the design, implementation or expansion of long-term community-based climate monitoring projects. The information gathered through community-based climate monitoring initiatives can be used to inform Indigenous community adaptation actions and address climate data gaps.
The program was announced in the 2017 federal budget, along with a commitment to $6 million per year in contributory funding for 10 years, starting in 2018.
