Indigenous Greenhouse Gas
Removal Commission
IGGRC is a collective force of Tribal Nations, united to lead the charge against climate change.
Our Commission is rooted in the deep reverence and understanding that Indigenous Peoples possess for our sacred lands and resources. Our ancestral knowledge has guided us as responsible stewards, cultivating sustainable ecosystems while respecting the delicate balance of nature. Today, as we face the grave threat of climate change, our duty is clear: to blend this traditional wisdom with innovative technologies, ensuring a sustainable future for our communities and our world.
Forest Planning Tools & Financing for Tribal Projects
Tribal leaders, forestry professionals, researchers, project developers, and other partners are invited to join us on Thursday, November 19, for a webinar exploring emerging tools and financing opportunities to advance Tribal forest stewardship.
New Resources Support Tribal Nations to Navigate Growing Carbon Removal Industry
IGGRC and partners released a report and companion resources in June 2026 to support Tribal Nations navigating the growing carbon dioxide removal industry. The materials are designed to help Tribes evaluate proposals, consider ownership and governance models, and assess whether carbon removal may serve their priorities.
“For us, the carbon crisis isn’t just another challenge. It’s a chance to build a climate-friendly economy—and a just, accountable system for governing it. We can define climate solutions that foster the kind of development we actually want - solutions that truly work for Indigenous people, for our neighbors, and for the planet.”
