Robin Bronen serves as Executive Director and is the co-founder of the Alaska Institute for Justice, a non-profit agency which is located on Dena’ina lands and in Anchorage, Alaska. AIJ’s mission is to protect the human rights of all Alaskans and houses three programs: 1) climate justice adaptation and policy program; 2) immigration legal services program; and 3) language interpreter center which trains bilingual Alaskans to work as professional interpreters in the medical, legal and social services. Permafrost Pathways is a new climate justice initiative funded through the TED Audacious project and provides funding for Alaska Native Tribes to hire tribal government staff to work on the climate adaptation issues prioritized by the Tribe. AIJ’s climate justice focus is to protect and promote tribal sovereignty, protect and promote human and Earth rights and ensure equity and justice are embedded in our work to remove the policy barriers preventing Tribes from accessing the resources and technical assistance they need.
