The National Indigenous Climate Compass (NICC) is an online tool that will equip indigenous communities with information enabling them to better prepare themselves for the risks associated with climate change. This is a tool created by indigenous communities for indigenous communities, aimed to provide key data for specific indigenous territories to help drive community development projects in infrastructure, energy, and access to potable water.
