Description

With over $150 million in new federal funding now flowing to Tribal orphan well programs, and the first carbon credits for methane reduction just issued this year, Tribes are stepping into a pivotal role in land restoration and climate finance. This session explores how Indigenous leaders are leveraging these developments to close dangerous wells, protect cultural heritage, and shape the next phase of carbon market participation—on their terms.
