ABOUT

The purpose of the California Tribal Gap Analysis (CTGA) is to identify tribal priorities, needs, and barriers in the areas of clean energy and climate change adaptation and resilience, and to provide recommendations for the development and enhancement of State of California programs, funding, technical assistance, and other support to address tribal needs and priorities. The California Tribal Gap Analysis also seeks to advance collaboration and build relationships between Tribes and State agencies to support current and future Tribal-State partnerships and grant programs. All California Native American Tribes, regardless of recognition status, are invited to participate.

PARTNERS

The lead contractor for the CTGA project is Prosper Sustainably, LLC (woman-owned certified small business). Prosper’s team includes the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) Luskin Center for Innovation, GC Green (Native American woman-owned certified DVBE and small business), OurEnergy, and SCG Consulting. The CTGA contract is being administered by the California Strategic Growth Council (SGC) with the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) funding from the California Energy Commission (CEC) that expires in 2022. The SGC and CEC make up a State Committee overseeing the CTGA project.

SIGN UP TO PARTICIPATE

Tribal perspectives are needed to inform State clean energy and climate change programs for Tribes. CTGA recommendations will be based on input from participating Tribes and are anticipated to have a meaningful impact on future State funding and assistance for Tribes.
