Current and projected climate-change impacts disproportionately harm Indigenous Peoples' livelihoods and economies . Indigenous Peoples' livelihoods in North America include a range of activities closely tied to traditional lands, waters and territories.

Indigenous Peoples have been active in gathering to assess the impacts of climate change on their livelihoods, one example being the Bering Sea Elders Advisory Group .
