New federal funding presents a momentous opportunity to invest in rural physical infrastructure. How can rural and Native communities effectively leverage this funding to build thriving rural places? How are water and wastewater systems, broadband, housing, roads and bridges interconnected, and how can these different components of physical infrastructure support sustainable and equitable community and economic development? What unique obstacles do Native nations face when building or rebuilding infrastructure because of historical disinvestment?

Climate change is worsening the already disproportionate burdens placed on rural people and Native nations. In the face of these global and hyper-local challenges, rural America and Native nations are essential partners in developing climate-smart solutions. What can we learn from innovative approaches to environmental justice in rural regions, and how can we engage Native nations and rural communities of color to address climate change more equitably?
