The White House launched the Climate Action Champions program in late 2014, in partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).

Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians (Michigan) and the Blue Lake Rancheria Tribe (California). These Tribes were selected for their local leadership in climate mitigation and adaptation.
