Climate Pollution Reduction Grants
The Climate Pollution Reduction Grants (CPRG) program provides $5 billion in grants to states, local governments, tribes, and territories to develop and implement ambitious plans for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and other harmful air pollution. Authorized under Section 60114 of the Inflation Reduction Act, this two-phase program provides $250 million for noncompetitive planning grants, and approximately $4.6 billion for competitive implementation grants.
Announcements
A CPRG Planning Grant Workshop will be held September 4-6, 2024 in Minneapolis, Minnesota at University of Minnesota's McNamara Alumni Center. This in person only workshop for planning grantees will focus on development of the Comprehensive Climate Action Plan. Planning grantees were emailed information about registration and the workshop website.
This past spring, under phase 2 (implementation) of the CPRG program, EPA closed two grant competitions for implementation grants with funding totaling approximately $4.6 billion, including a $300 million competition for Tribal and territorial applicants only. EPA anticipates announcing selected applicants under both competitions this summer, with funding expected to be awarded by the end of 2024.
