https://www.theverge.com/2023/2/24/23613848/national-congress-american-indi… The largest national organization of American Indian and Alaska Native tribal governments is calling on the Biden administration to pause offshore wind projects. They want to ensure that tribes are included in project planning and that there are measures in place to protect their territories and traditional resources. ------- https://drive.google.com/file/d/1iVhOy1hXrFRg7SP4tYHKQmouOlw2-8qZ/view?usp=… N A T I O N A L C O N G R E S S O F A M E R I C A N I N D I A N S The National Congress of American Indians Resolution #ECWS-23-005 TITLE: Offshore Wind Moratorium WHEREAS, we, the members of the National Congress of American Indians of the United States, invoking the divine blessing of the Creator upon our efforts and purposes, in order to preserve for ourselves and our descendants the inherent sovereign rights of our Indian nations, rights secured under Indian treaties and agreements with the United States, and all other rights and benefits to which we are entitled under the laws and Constitution of the United States and the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, to enlighten the public toward a better understanding of the Indian people, to preserve Indian cultural values, and otherwise promote the health, safety and welfare of the Indian people, do hereby establish and submit the following resolution; and WHEREAS, the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) was established in 1944 and is the oldest and largest national organization of American Indian and Alaska Native tribal governments; and WHEREAS, the government has a legal obligation to consult with Tribal Nations on any activities that may affect their lands or resources; and WHEREAS, the Biden administration encourages through the January 26, 2021 Memorandum, “Tribal Consultation and Strengthening Nation-to-Nation Relationships” to improve tribal engagements; and WHEREAS, the Biden administration in the November 30, 2022 Memorandum requires “Uniform Standards for Tribal Consultation”; and WHEREAS, the Biden Administration has embraced the need to expand tribal consultation to incorporate the essential importance of tribal co-stewardship and co- managment of traditional tribal lands and waters as recently as Assistant Secretary Bryan Newland’s statement before the General Assembly of NCAI on February 22, 2023; and WHEREAS, President Biden issued a Memorandum on December 1, 2022, titled, “Implementation of Guidance for Federal Departments and Agencies on Indigenous Knowledge,” requires federal agencies to integrate Indigenous Knowledge as a line of evidence in federal decision-making; and WHEREAS, incorporating tribal Indigenous Traditional Ecological Knowledge, through co-management of traditional lands and the associated life forms is critical to protecting tribal environment and is essential to Biden Administrations’ stated goal of respecting and including Indigenous Traditional Ecological Knowledge in decision making; and WHEREAS, these policies must apply to energy development projects that may impact their traditional territories, cultural resources, or sacred sites; and WHEREAS, Tribal Nations must be included in the management, permitting and development of power purchase agreements and both consulted and included in determining the terms and conditions of the agreements; and WHEREAS, this includes negotiating fair compensation for the use of their lands and resources, inclusion in any revenues associated with such development of their traditional resources as well as ensuring that the development does not harm their environment or cultural heritage. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, NCAI resolves to support shared tribal jurisdictional authority over and tribal management of offshore renewable energy activities, aimed at empowering Native communities through socio-economic benefits such as job opportunities, revenue sharing, and support for tribal energy development projects; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that NCAI strongly urges the Department of the Interior and the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management to halt all scoping and permitting for offshore wind projects until completion of a comprehensive and transparent procedure adequately protecting tribal environmental and sovereign interests is developed and implemented; and BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED, that this resolution shall be the policy of NCAI until it is withdrawn or modified by subsequent resolution. CERTIFICATION The foregoing resolution was adopted by the General Assembly at the 2023 Executive Council Winter Session of the National Congress of American Indians, held February 20-23, 2023, in Washington, D.C., with a quorum present.

Getting DFC done: DFC committed more than $12 billion across 181 transactions last year. So far, reauthorization discussions have recommended at least doubling lending capacity to $120 billion, if not more.

*Getting DFC done* Who remembers bipartisanship? It was back for a brief moment last week when U.S. lawmakers launched the process <https://t.devex.com/dc/kyXVoDpAY__Vu56MNr4POoCHqzIMxFmx3uh1aeA9isGdJh4J2dpV…> last week to reauthorize the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation <https://t.devex.com/Njg1LUtCTC03NjUAAAGZSMJ3nKPPPUzMSgR5GM7U7WuOmDv2Thqq9QZ…>, or DFC. Republicans and Democrats agreed that DFC, which finances private sector development solutions, *can help provide an alternative to Chinese investment*. Now it just needs reauthorization before its current mandate *expires in October*. DFC committed more than $12 billion across 181 transactions last year. So far, reauthorization discussions have recommended at least *doubling lending capacity to $120 billion*, if not more. Among other topics up for debate: - Whether to *count equity investments as grants* as currently, requiring full appropriations, or as loans, which would allow less money to be held back to offset potential losses. - *Expanding investments* to strategic upper-middle- and high-income countries, such as Panama. Devex Senior Reporter Adva Saldinger will be watching developments closely. *Read:* Congressional hearing kicks off DFC reauthorization efforts <https://t.devex.com/dc/kyXVoDpAY__Vu56MNr4POoCHqzIMxFmx3uh1aeA9isGdJh4J2dpV…>

A note of regret: ICYMI: Remaining USAID programs now under State Department, 5,200 programs canceled Related reading: Is Germany the next leader in ODA, and how will it spend its money? Background reading: European aid is both 'self-interested' and 'generous,' says official

A note of regret <https://t.devex.com/Njg1LUtCTC03NjUAAAGZSMJ3nPieSufIQM2fZtSOVNgULYaYtrSSB5u…> The European Commission is the world’s third-largest aid donor behind the U.S. and Germany <https://t.devex.com/dc/kyXVoDpAY__Vu56MNr4POgJqRxV1u0-osGFxrLP7yZis5fIqmt1x…>, but the internal document suggests it is positioning itself as *mostly an observer to the current carnage*. The EU “takes note with regret” of U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s announcement last week about the 83% cut, the document states. “As we await the details of which programs will be terminated, the EU continues to monitor the situation, with particular emphasis on key EU interests and life-saving humanitarian assistance.” Remember, when it comes to EU interests and foreign aid, the commission recently argued <https://t.devex.com/dc/kyXVoDpAY__Vu56MNr4POig6K_6k2y73Jhxj3WzioVdDnDAWwZU_…> that it is perfectly possible *to be charitable and self-interested at the same time*..
