“We’re scaling at the speed of trust.”
— Kelly Cain
In the fourth episode of season 3 of Untangling Climate Finance, Jay connected with Kelly Cain, the Senior Program & Policy Strategist and longtime collaborator with the National Indian Carbon Coalition, to explore how Indigenous tribes are leading climate action through carbon finance, land stewardship, and data sovereignty. As tribes reclaim ancestral lands and shape sustainable futures, carbon projects are becoming powerful tools for both climate and community impact.
Kelly breaks down:
✅ How the National Indian Carbon Coalition’s Tribal Carbon and Co-Benefit Tool is helping quantify the ecological and social value of carbon projects
âś… How the National Indian Carbon Coalition is using carbon finance to fund groundbreaking land returns and tribal self-determination
✅ Why Indigenous-led carbon finance is a critical part of reaching our climate goals — and how trust, data, and sovereignty are central to making it work
As climate deadlines loom, it’s essential that we amplify Indigenous leadership and invest in solutions rooted in deep ecological knowledge and long-term stewardship. This conversation is packed with insight, impact, and inspiration.
